Your mom was like my second mom. Many good memories.
Always in our prayers and thoughts.
She was a very good friend.
Hugs & prayers for your family! I have fond memories of Mrs Lois' smiles as we were growing up in Batesville. Blessings!
My sincere condolences to the family of Lois. We met the Coker family in the 1930's when they moved from Oklahoma to the Lollie community near Conway. They were the "salt of the earth" folks. I was fortunate to have known them. May the Lord Bless each of you; you are in my thoughts and prayers.
John,
We were sorry to read about the loss of your mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
