    Debra – so sorry to hear about Lois’ passing. In addition to knowing her through Woody, she took care of my mother for 2 years prior to my mother’s death in 2002. She was a very kind and loving person. My condolences to you and your family.

    I am so sad to read of Lois’ passing. She was a wonderful friend and caregiver! She took care of my grandmother until the end and now was speaking all the time to my 95 year old mother. They stayed on the phone and laughed all night reminiscing the old days. I know her health was changing and I was hoping for the best. She was a woman if faith and is now in God’s hands. We will truly miss her❤️🙏
