Lois Mercier

I think about Lois and Ralph so often. Memories from Grady, AORN, and the lake. They are still very vibrant in my mind and it fills me with warmth and love.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Cheryl & Wayne--I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts & prayers.

To My Family: I love you all and we will miss Aunt Lois as we do all our loved ones that have passed on, but we know that they (Grandaddy, Aunt Lois, Daddy, Mikey) are in a much better place than we. They look down on us everyday, and in the coming days their memories will comfort us for they know that someday we will all see each other again. On that day I will tell them all I love them and how much I have missed them since they left.

Ralph, Cheryl, Michael,
I will miss Lois so much. I felt that, in a way, she was my adotive mother. My own Mom died whie we were together at Grady. We used to laugh so hard, sitting in the cafeteria at lunch. Although that was a dim second to going to the lake. The AORN convention was fabulous, since I had the treat of traveling with Queen Mercier. Those little sales guys wouls leap over their booth to greet her. It was amazing. What an influential person she was. To all of us. Like all of you, my heart is breaking. I love her so much. All of you are in my prayers. Ralph, save me a seat on the dock, I'll be there this summer.

I love you all,

Sandy Kangas

Through those sweet memories, they will give each of you the strength you'll need to go on right now & in the days ahead. Take care & know that my heart goes out to each of you right now.

Love Ya'll :)
