I remember that Lois loved to play her drums so much that she had written "I live to drum and drum to live" on her sneakers with pen. She was fantastic at it too!!!!! Rest in peace, Lois.

This is very sad news. I always remember Lois for her smile. She always had a smile on her face. She loved playing drums in the band. I wish peace to her family and friends.

I was so sorry to learn of Lois' passing. I was looking forward to seeing her at our 40th HS reunion this Summer and was disappointed to learn she was unable to attend. Lois and I were in band together from middle school through graduation and I always remember her love of drumming and desire to make our band the very best. Prayers for strength and healing to her family.
