We are thinking of all the summer vacations we shared as kids and glad we all had the chance to be close "cousins" even though we were 1000's of miles away. Aunt Lois will be in our hearts & memories. Make-up on, hair always done & dressed in her finest. Her house was always open & a story on her lips that made us want to sit and listen for hours. Good times, good memories. She will be missed. Sending our love and hugs to you and the family. "The Twins"

So sorry to hear of the passing of Aunt Lois. I have many childhood memories of visiting family in Des Moines and Lois and Red visiting us in Phoenix. My sister Nancy and I got to visit the farm just a few years ago. Was great to see Lois, Rick and Brenda and have dinner with my cousins. So sorry for your loss.

Sending you comforting thoughts during this time. I have fond memories of Lois. She gave me a chance and hired me in high school. I am always grateful for that beginning.
