I wish we could be together today to celebrate Aunt Lois’ life. Rich and I will be watching the service. I have many fond memories of the time our families spent together in Port Edwards and Madison. Aunt Lois left a wonder legacy for her family. She was a beautiful child of God who lived her faith. We will miss her. Love to all of you.

Lois had an amazing spirit. It could light up a room and make your heart flutter at the same time. She welcomed me with open arms and always had a smile to keep everyone warm.
