Aunt Lois was the most kind and loving, an angel on Earth. My heart goes out to her loving daughters, sons, sister and family. If I could make travel arrangements to pay my respect in person, and hug each of you, I would be there in person. May we all have the grace Aunt Lois demonstrated and love each other no matter what. Rest in Peace, Aunt Lois. Hugs to all who read this.
