Ricky, David and Nancy, I am so sorry for your loss. Lois was a very special lady. And a wonderful cook. Anything she cooked for the pot lucks at the Shirt Factory was the first to go. She always had a smile on her face and knew no stranger. She would light up a room just by walking into it. She always made everyone feel welcome no matter where you were at. She will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with each one of you and your family.

Lois and Ezra were a fixture in the Bear Creek community. My grandparents always spoke good of them. I remember them as a team, they are a team, again.
