Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. So many fond memories. You were such a good friend to my Mom and she loved you as we all did. R.I.P. Lois.

  2. Lois was a sweet and kind friend and neighbor. We missed her when she moved back to NC. I remember when we were first getting to know each other after moving into our new homes in Maryland City, we laughed about how we both would rather tell people our age than our shoe size. She styled my hair for all those years before she moved. She became very close to my mother & called her Nana because she was as close as a family member. My Mom loved her and Bob and their children & let her know that they were all good kids. She & Bob entertained my Mom many, many evenings.
    Lois was a quiet, warm and loving soul. I know she is in heaven.

  3. Shelley, You and your family are in my heart and thoughts. You and I have been on this journey together although separated by the distance between us. I love you. Joy

  4. Our thoughts and prayers are with all family, Lois is my cousin, we attended Beverly Hills Baptist Church together, we love and miss her, RIP Lois.
    Love:
    Susie and Pat T.Suwan
