May God gently hold Lois in the palm of his hand and grant her peace. Through his Kingdom reward Lois for her devotion to family and friends.May all find comfort in the memories she left to lessen the sorrow of her passing.

My Mom's love and protection are the foundation of everything good and wonderful in my life. Selflessness, kindness and devotion warmed every word and deed in her life. The rest of us can only pray to grow in the humility that she radiated like a golden glow. I know she is with my Mamaw now, and will continue to thank God as I have every day of day of my life that I was given by Him into her care. She is still going to be very busy being the guardian angel to everyone who ever met her, but especially those of us who loved her with our whole beings, and will never cease to miss her. I know she will keep the perpetual light of her love shining upon us until we can be with her again!

Debbie, Carolyn, Steve and your families:
Aunt Lois will always be remembered for her love, generosiy, and devotion. She will be greatly missed but her spirit will live on as we live our lives by the same principles that guided hers - faith, hard work, and devotion to family.

My thoughts are with all of you. Lois was a great friend to my grandmother and I loved to run into her so that we could talk about old times. I will always remember her!
