We were saddened to read about Lois' passing. We remember your family visiting us. Mom (Beverly Tucker Bennett) and Lois would talk about things they did when they were girls up here in Queensbury. So Sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathies to the family. I met Lois briefly when I came with Tiffany to visit and although she was quite ill, I know she knew Tiff was there. She will be dearly missed by her.
