    We were saddened to hear of Lois passing and our condolences go out to the whole family. But I have to say the photo of her and Bob brought a smile to my face knowing they had been reunited today after many years apart. Bob and Lois made me feel so welcome when I came to Seaforth many years ago and we certainly spent a lot of time at the garage visiting. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her
