Lois was a very dear friend for about 45 years. I have many happy memories of her and Eldon & Terry & Freda. We kept in touch even though miles separated us. I heard from her each Christmas & she often enclosed snapshots & clippings of her children & grandchildren. Ralph & I visited her in Ruidoso a few short years ago. I did not realize that she was in poor health.

I am very sad to lose my beloved Lois. Terry & Freda & families: Please accept my deepest sympathy and love.

Lois loved you all very much and I know you will miss her deeply. God bless you all.
