So sorry to hear of Lois’s passing. She was a very nice, sweet lady and so thoughtful. I wish I had the time to know her better, however, I do know that Shailee loved her and their time spent together. Prayers to the family.
We are so sorry to hear in the passing of Lois. She was a cousin who we had seen many years ago and she was going to come to South Dakota but never made it.
