I have many fond memories of visiting Zarephath, Aunt Mary, Uncle Ash and cousin Lois. Lois was one of smartest, kindest, funniest people I have ever known. She could take you to pass out tracts at a local bar and be just as comfortable exploring a local museum or point of interest. She had a sense of humor that always reminded you not to take life too seriously. Her heart and her home always had room for another guest.

The Kokosinski Family & Miss Stewart shared some fun times at our house during the holidays. She had a sense of humor and a great laugh. We will always have a special place in our hearts for Miss Stewart.

We knew Sister Stewart on first-name basis, yet we often enjoyed calling her "Elder Stewart," but one day she pointed out that her friends call her "Lois." Bob knew her for at least fifty years and had her as one of his professors at Alma White College. Sandy did not know Lois that long, but became better friends while we lived and labored in the cause of Christ on staff at Pillar of Fire Hdqtrs. in Zarephath. God bless her memory, and may we honor her commitment to Christ and the Church.
