Lois was a dear friend of mine for 20 years. She taught me how to sew sock monkeys and dolls. We would chat on the phone and she always had a way to make me laugh. I loved her dearly and will miss our talks. Until we meet again lois...the memories I had with you will be remembered, cherished, and missed.
