Joyce, Diane and Beverly,
I want to express my sincere thoughts of concern for you as you deal with the loss of your dear mom. I have very fond memories of your mother Lois, your father, Tom and all of you girls from years ago when we all gathered together for holiday, mostly birthday celebrations and picnics at Joyce and Matt's home on Pine Ridge.
Lois would always arrive with a hearty hello for everyone and a big sunny smile. She was so kind to me and made me feel so included in the family. I felt like I had known her all my life, she was so special. And it was apparent that she loved her girls. They were the world to her.
I am glad that you girls have each other and your extended families to share her memory together.
God's Peace to you all.

Dear Joyce, Diane and Bev,
I am so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. What wonderful parents you had, always dedicating their time to improve the lives of others. Coaching and volunteering countless hours at Rose Tree little league, nativity BVM and Elwyn to name a few. They embraced all of us Todorow’s growing up on Greenhill. We were so fortunate to have such good role models in are lives. We are grateful to have had such wonderful neighbors. With deepest sympathy, may God be with you and your famines during this difficult time.
PS I know she’s showing some of the gals in heaven how to do a cartwheel.

Dear Bev, Diane and Joyce,
I was so sad to hear of your mom´s passing but realized that she´d had an incredible life making the days of others better. While I hadn´t seen her in many years, I will always remember her thinking and doing for others. I still have the beautiful afghan she crocheted for me after it was getting painful for her to do for fun. But she knew I had admired her work for years and that was just what she did. What a absolutely lovely lady she was! Hoping she and your dad are enjoying a baseball game together again.

Joyce, Diane and Beverly,
You won't remember me, but your parents were such a support to my mom when we were growing up in ways no one can really exact - but their presence and friendship made her life a bit more peaceful, and less alone.
May you find peace knowing they are dancing in the light of the Lord together now!
Kindest regards,
Noel Burke Contardi

I knew Lois when we both worked at Elwyn. What a special, kind person she was. In 1989, when I was expecting my daughter to arrive, she knitted a Christmas stocking for her with her name on it. It is still being used every Christmas.
