Michelle, So sorry to hear your mother has passed. Its been years! Wishing you and your family peace and comfort in the days ahead.  -Casey Cannon 

So very sorry for your loss. I met your mom many years ago in the mid to late 1970's through her cousin Carol Ann. Lois was so happy, funny and full of life. I would mostly meet her when I was with Carol and viewing craft shows in the Valparaiso area. Sometimes we'd all have lunch at the craft fair. Lois and Carol would always be teasing each other. I saw her house after it was built, and it was so beautiful. Lois was such a beautiful and caring lady and I am so glad I came to know her. God bless and keep her. May God bring blessings of comfort to your family.  -Jo Ann Hayworth 

My Deepest Sympathies hugs to you and you're Family love and Miss you.  -Ron Witkowski
