“Lois will be missed by so many. I met Lois when Teri and I were in High School together. I remember her then as an involved parent who was so proud of her family. I had the privilege in the last year, to be a helpful companion for her. She was such a sweet woman, even on days when she was not feeling so well. She was so appreciative and thankful for her caretakers so she could spend the rest of her life in her beautiful home. I know she was welcomed with open arms by the love of her life Harry, and many other family and friends. Patti G.”
