    Bill and I were reminicsing yesterday about the big part that Lois played in the church suppers. She was always so organized, effecient and determined to operate the “takeout” department according to her plan. I smiled thinking of moments we may have not agreed on which pot or cooler of potatoes she was to move to her area. Her work will not be fogotton.
    Lois was a wonderful women who with her husband, raised a couple of great kids that will be her legacy and she was very proud of you and her grandchildren. Thinking of you all.
