Aunt Lois was a special lady. When I was a kid, sometimes I would get a surprise package in the mail. Aunt Lois would have made a request for a special offer for something and have it sent to me. One time I got a Miss America Barbie doll as a result of her efforts. She was a thoughtful, kind person as well as a Bible scholar and good cook. I loved her Karo-nut pies, cheese dip, cheese balls and spaghetti. I know she is enjoying a great reunion in heaven even now with all who have preceded her. Praise God for this & that I too, will one day see her and others of our family who have preceded us.
