I am so sorry to hear of Loiss passing. My sympathy to Larry and all the family. We spoke from time to time at church and she always came across very friendly and interested in others. I know you will miss her.

Lois was my eldest 1st cousin. While we may not have known each other all that well, yet that side of the family had the tremendous custom of getting together at least once a year, and it is through that annual reunion that we knew each other. Being the oldest of our generation, Lois, I know, had a hand in affecting all of us who were younger. Ive always known her to have those inherent Wetzel (and Jensen) traits of a strong work ethic, hardiness in the face of adversity, and friendliness to those she met daily. Just a few weeks ago I sat beside her at lunch as we reminisced about our respective families. To Larry, Shirley, Sheryl, Rodney & Linda, and your families, and to Janice and Rose Ann, our hearts and thoughts are with you all during this sad time.
