A poem titled "Life" written by Lois will be shared in her memory.
Darn this life When leaves begin to fall, Taking loved ones at random Not caring who it hurts at all. Words won't help now. This hurt you feel Only time will allow The wound to heal There is a consolation, How small it may be, That we are all bound For this trip into eternity. Take heart, dear friend, I know your pain. May god bless you and yours And soothe your heart again To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Lois, please visit our floral store.
