Guestbook

  1. We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We have missed visiting with Lois as she walked in our neighborhood. She always enjoyed talking about our flowers and we enjoyed her very much. Our sincere sympathy to David and Family. Ann & Keith Parker

  2. We were so sorry to read about the passing of sweet Lois. Her cheerful smile always greeted us, and she was so friendly and kind. She often had a book in hand, and we always enjoyed lively conversation. Surely there have been few grandmothers more devoted than Lois! She attended every event, program, award ceremony, concert, tennis outing, Grandparent’s Day – anything to see her sweet Maya. We hope those wonderful memories sustain you now and in the future. She was a great gift! The Richardson Family Todd, Debbie, Ben and Luke

  3. I met Lois when I started as a docent at WAM in 1992. She was always helpful, charming, and kind. After she retired She and Dr. Crane would often walk their dog by my house and I would always enjoy visiting with them. I am so sorry for your loss and will remember Lois as a very special person. My prayers are with David and the family. Sincerely, Randall Treece
