Many fond memories of Lois (and Roger). What’s great about memories is that we keep them by our heart and refer back to them often. She will be missed so much by all family and friends. Now her and Roger are reunited like my mom and dad. I am sure they are having quite a happy reunion. God has now blessed Lois along with Roger and all family.

Lois was so very wonderful. She was always excited to show us all of her Christmas decorations (especially the ones Christy would put up) and she loved her dolls ?? She and Roger are greatly missed. Many prayers of comfort to the family ???
