As you know, my mom and Lois were like sisters and very close. My mom and I missed Lois\’s daily visits when she moved to Florida and due to their health, neither one could travel for extended visits that they once shared. I know up to my mom\’s death, she thought of Lois daily and I also thought of her often. For years, when I cooked, there was always extra for Lois either it was at our table or for her to take home. I pray that this Friday, Lois and my mom will be sitting together at a table, having a Yukon Jack and 7-Up, and thinking about all of us. All of their health problems are gone, they are pain free and at peace knowing just how much they were loved. Bruce A. Redmann
I thank the Bradley family for accepting me as a long time member of their family as a devoted friend of Lois since our acquaintance working with her and caring for her Mother Julie Aichler. My sympathy to each and every member of her loving family, knowing that Lois now rests in peace at home with God.
