We are deeply saddened by Lois's passing. She was a great friend who always kept us on our toes, and who lit up the room when she came in. She welcomed us to the neighborhood 20 years ago, and we spent many fun times with Lois and Morrie over the years. We will miss her dearly. Our thoughts and prayers are with Morrie and the entire family.
