I remember goin to her flower shop as a kid and helping her make bouquets and making the roses different colors wit spray paint. Ive known the family since Amy and her family lived across from me on 133rd ave. Lois was always smiling, she was a nice lady i think at one time i wished i had a nana like her. She will be missed greatly.
