Dear Wally, Missy, Doug, Dana,and grandkids,
I could write a book on all the memories I have of Lo, but
sometimes it's the little things that mean the most.l For me it was the many times that I would just "pop in" and sit and chat over a cup of tea. I sure will miss doing this. Of course I will always be grateful to her for all the times she "volunteered" Wally whenever I needed something fixed or my driveway needed plowing.
As you all know, Lo was a very dear and loyal friend. It is with a very heavy heart that I write this note. Although I am not physically with you all, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I loved Lois and will cherish the memories I have of her. My deepest sympathy to all of you. Love, Sandy

Dear Wally and Family - I am very sorry and sad to hear of Lois's passing. She was a wonderful friend and I will always remember the great times that I had with her and her wonderful Mom and Dad when we were in high school. I am in Utah now visiting my children and grandchildren, but was informed by a mutual friend. My sincere sympathy goes out to all of you...Love, Dottie (Nagle) Tormey

My dear friend Missy and family, we write today with such a heavy heart. Words could never express how truly saddened we are to learn of "Ma's" passing. Lois was an exceptional lady who's grace we would only describe as purely genuine. Her love for her family was "one of a kind". Her life revolved around all of you as she loved you all so very much. Missy, my dearest friend, my heart is broken for you. You were a wonderful daughter who truly enjoyed the company of her Mom. You both are an inspiration to all us Mom's. Although I know you will forever be saddened by the loss of your Mom, you will forever have a guardian angel. Always remember that we are all better people to have known Lois. All our Love, The Murphy Family, Frankie, Erika, Haley & Caitlin

An angel has left us,leaving a void which can only begin to be filled by all the GREAT memories of her life here with all of us. While I deeply mourn the passing of "Ma" her legacy continues thru Walter,Missy,Jake and Frank who are a tribute to her kindness,caring and love. It is not hard for me to say she treated me like a son and I loved her like a mother. I know we will all miss her. My deepest sympathy to all of you. I know it doesnt sound like much now but our love and caring for each other will get us thru this most difficult time. "Ma" you will be so missed...make friends with all the angels and save me a seat.

Demo and I are so very sorry to hear of Lois' passing. Not having seen her for several years since we split our year in Florida, I have such beautiful and fun memories of her, especially at the little league games when our kids were kids. She was always "into" something, crafting beautiful things and excited and proud of her children and grandchildren.
This is truly a shock to everyone who knows her and we are deeply sorry for her family and close friends.
