Lois was such a great influence on me and others in the quilting world. She was such a wonderful role model. She saw the potential in me and sent me on the path I am today.

January 6, 2011

To all the Gottsch boys & their wives & families. Losing a mom is one of the hardest things we go thru in life. Trying to figure out lifes full cycle is difficult. Keep your memories close, laugh at something that you did together that was fun or memorable. Cry whenever you feel like it! Just remember how very much she loved each & everyone of you! She is now at peace, joining the "Party in the Sky"
With deepest sympathy,
Kathy Harkert-Jochim & boys
