Lois was my second mom, we got to know each other while working at WAA. In between calls I would get to talk to her here and there about this and that. As the years went by we became close, talking about my grandkids, her grandkids, children. She told me about their camping adventures up by Eagle River and how she loved to listen to the loons. When my son was critically injured, she got the prayer chain going. Listening to her tell me about when she met Angelo, and raising her kids you just had to smile. I was blessed to have such a friendship. Her and Ange raised such a good family and they all hold a special place in my heart. Your mom, sister and grandma was a real gem, she touched my life in a special way, I will never forget. You all have my deepest sympathy.
