I am just so full of memories of my mom's best friend. She knew us and loved us like a mom. And I loved she and your father for filling my childhood with camping and friends like Todd and Tim. You are in my heart and prayers as you were on the eve of the 4th of July when I witnessed one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. "She made it", I thought to myself. I will always love you guys.

So sorry to hear about Lois. We had a lot of fun competing on Lady's Day at Pinecrest. We enjoyed many golf trips together. Especially the ones to Burley.
