Memories and Condolences
for LOIS KOLB

Not sure what to say?

I remember Mrs. Kolb as a sweet, kind person. She had a smile for everyone, and never an unkind thing to say. All of the kids in the neighborhood in Hazel Crest loved her (and her cookies!)
The world lost a good soul with her passing.

My memories of the lovely Mrs. Lois Kolb are many even though they are from many years ago. Laughter, laughter, first and always. Yellow marigolds lining the driveway. Sitting next to Mr. Kolb in the car. Hearing piano music and singing in the evenings. Kind smiles and always a sweet and welcoming lilt in her voice. Loving mother to Mary and John with lots of understanding always available to every child that knocked on the door. (many raisins and love given, "lol") She loved the Lord and I know he has welcomed her into his kingdom. Truly the sweetest happiest lady is how I will always remember Mrs. Kolb. XOXO Prayers for you!
