We were living next door to Lois while living in York for 5 years. We were neighbors in the duplex. We always enjoyed Lois, many times we would give her flowers to celebrate her birthday. We often think of her. She had a very tender heart, and always spoke kindly of Elmer, Judy and Jim. We´ll always remember Lois and her family. God bless!
