I send you my deepest sympathy on the death of your mother. I was in sorority with her for years until I moved here. We had many memorable times together with the chapter and as couples with our husbands. My husband, John, and I really enjoyed those times. He also sends his sympathy. May God be with each of you and yours.

We would like to thank all of our friends and relatives for your kind expressions of condolences for the passing of our mother. God blessed Lois by taking her home and ending her suffering. We will miss her terribly but we wouldn't want her to suffer any more than she did. She loved all of you and she'll be in heaven praying for all of us. Someday we'll all be together again.
