My sympathy to all of you who loved your mother and grandmother Lois. From her obituary, I see a life lived with love of many things-I love that she belonged to a club of “Lois”” and that she liked impatiens (as my mom did, too). I know that she will be missed but that her spirit will remain ever strong among you. Blessed be her memory.
Peace to you,
Patty
Our thoughts and prayers are with all the families of “Lois”, may the memories of past…help you through the sadness of her passing.
