Aunt Lois' candle will always shine. God bless an amazing woman and my friend.

My Aunt, my friend, my second mother and my inspiration. Her legacy will live on and, as my brother said, "she will continue to touch lives for generations to come". She has left the world a better place than she found it. She was dedicated to God, her husband of 64 years, her family, her friends and even to strangers. My Aunt had a zest for life that matched no other. This quote from Storm Jameson sums it up: "Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed." Aunt Lois, "I love you more"! and I'll see you later!
