So very sorry to hear of Lois's passing. Our deepest condolences to all of you; keeping you in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
Dear Ron, Michelle and Jamie &family,
Your Lois was a consistently caring and thoughtful person. She made everyone feel like family. I cherish memories of twice yearly visits that she would organize whenever I visited my Mom.
Accept our heartfelt sympathy and prayers for comfort for all of you as you cope with the loss of dear Lois.
Much love,
Doug and Joanne.
I remember Lois just as she was described in her obituary. She lovingly put others ahead of herself! Her Daughter Michelle and I were friends since 1991, meeting in Australia. Though we were on opposite ends of Canada, when I visited, Lois really strived to get to know me and made me feel like family. RIP!
