James and I cherish the memories of Marion and Lois so much. Despite the difference in our ages, we enjoyed so many good times together. Fishing being the high spot. We would go down and meet them at Woods Point and eat some of the best meals ever. James and Marion fished alike and Lois and I enjoyed so many of the same activities. It’s rare to have friends that last a lifetime. They will be sorely missed. Our sympathy goes out to your whole family.

My memory of Lois while growing up was that she always had a smile and was such a gracious person whether she was waiting on you or met you on the street. Those of us who have already lost our mothers know what a difficult time it is when we loss someone so precious. My sympathies and prayers go out to Dick and his family.

Lois was a dear person. She seemed to have no desire to be anyone other that who she was, and she always enjoyed the blessing of her life, chief among them her husband Marion and her children Richard and David. She always showed great kindness and love for me and I will remember her with great affection.

We share many wonderful memories of Lois ..at church, at Dr. Wiles’ office, and as a friend.
