I ate lunch with Lois at Brandon Woods and she always told me if the soup was good. I admired her skill of making quilts for all the family. Remember all the wonderful memories of your folks enjoying the Junk Yard band. RM
It saddened me to hear of the death of your mother, Lois Ames. Please accept my sympathy. I am sure you have many good memories–and so does the Business Department of Lawrence High School. We had many good times and memories!
Lois was a true friend. Lois and her husband, John, always made me feel like family. Thoughts to the family at this time. It is our loss also.
I remember so many fun times at the Elks with your mother and dad, both were kind and gentle people. I miss those days!
