Mom,
You have been our mentor in life. You have shown us how to love, laugh, and cry. You have always been our "go to" person for everything. You were our mechanic, gardener, painter, plumber, electrician, and enjoyed every Holiday get together until you couldn't cook for our large family anymore. We will forever keep our memories, love, and faith in you.
Lois will be greatly missed. She will be remembered for her love and giving of herself unselfishly to her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and taking care of others and doing whatever she could to help anyone in need.
Your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren
Our family would love to extend their gratitude to all of our mother's special caregivers. Because without these wonderful people we could not have honored her wishes to remain at home until she went to heaven. We are fortunate to have her daughter Debbie make all of this possible. Bless the hearts of: Debbie, Carrie, Tina B., Laina, Delfina S., Delfina M., Tina C., Tami, Andrea, and Geneva. A special thank you to Nancy Hagen for your letters to mom every week that she looked forward to reading.
