Dear Tim, Susan, and Melinda,

It was with sadness that I learned of dear Lois' leaving you, but with great joy that I know that she has moved to a life with her God in which all cares and anguishes will be non-existent. Lois brought such happiness to so many friends over the years, and her passion for shells seemed to radiate through her body and soul. The wonderful displays that she composed were a delight to the eye. I pray for each of you that God will give you strength at this less than easy time, and I thank our dear Lord for the memories that I will treasure always of a lovely lady named Lois. With warm affection, Janet Armbrust (sent from Front Royal, VA)
