So sorry for your loss.
It was my honor and privilege to know Lois and to work with her at Plantation Foods for many years. She was an extraordinary person: cheerful, peaceful, unassuming but strong and diligent and capable far beyond what might be normal or expected. I was delighted every time I was with her and very proud that she worked with us. I hold her now, with God, in my heavier heart…with love.
I remember the days at St. Paul School, Lois was always happy and caring for everyone. In later years each time I we would see each other she always wanted to catch up with everything. Lovely person and we will miss her.
It is a beautiful service honoring and remembering Lois’s life. She was always loving and gave the tightest hugs! She always wanted to make sure we were doing good. Her life is a blessing to so many. Everyone in the family is in my prayers and I wish I was there to hug each of you. Prayers continue to go up! I am thankful for Lois and how she blessed my life!
Thank you for the opportunity to care for your loved one. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
