I fondly remember auntie Lois and my mom in the kitchen making lefsa and talking up a storm. We will miss her and uncle George. She was always good to our family and welcomed us with open arms. We will miss her.
God Bless
I’m so sorry for your loss. I had the lovely privilege of spending the first 10 minutes of everyday, for the last 4 months with Lois. I was there to spend time with someone else but she got the biggest smile when I would walk in so I’d pull up a chair, hang onto her hand and just talk with her. She’d call me her sunshine ☀️. I looked very forward to that visit everyday, and sat with her for a bit on the morning when she passed. I’m thankful I got to know her.
