I am so sorry for your loss.
I was Lois´ caregiver for 2 years. It was my pleasure to take care of her and get to know her. Lois made me feel like family as did her family. Words cannot explain what a wonderful, loving woman she was. She was the kind of woman that you always wanted to be near so you could get her advice and friendship. I will never forget her. Lois, I promised you I would plant a tree for you, but I planted 10.
Rest in peace, Lois, I will always love you and think of you fondly with love, Kiki
