So sorry for your loss, but what a beautiful write-up. Thinking of you.
Diana and family so sorry for your loss. God be with you and help you thru this hard time. I knew Lois from Gateway Christian School. She was a very special, caring lady. God has called a very special angel home.
I’m so sorry Diana! She was so kind to me. I have a little prayer card in my wallet she sent to me! Love you and thinking of you!
Please have our condolences
Diana,
Our condolences to you and your family. She had a lot of friends and family who loved her. We’ll keep you in our thoughts.
Diana and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. May your memories of your mother keep her alive and present always.
Diana and Family, so sorry for your loss. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Diana,
Sending my condolences to you and your family.
Diana, It’s Brenda from MHS Legacy (The Young Group). I was so saddened to hear about Lois, I always enjoyed working with her, she was always a very nice person. Things were not the same after she left.
You and Vanessa are in my prayers
Dear Diana and Family,
The love of a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother is such a special feeling. So sorry for your loss.
Diana, Mike, Nessa, Gabe, Cam& Liala-
My deepest condolences.
Lois, “meemaw” was such a kind thoughtful lady. She will surely be missed but you only need look at each other to see her reflection in you.
I’m sorry for your loss
Diana and Family,
We are sorry for your loss. Lois was such a nice, genuine, religious, and personable lady. My father loved working with her at Young Sales. She was so kind and helpful to my father. Actually, he adored her, her work ethic, and her warm personality.
In fact, our entire family was blessed to have considered her a dear friend for the past 35 or so years. When we called Young Sales, it was often to talk to Lois just as much as my dad.
After she retired, we still kept in touch with her. She was so nice and generous to my head injured sister, Kelly. They often met to eat and talk.
I still laugh when I think of the initial rumors and thoughts at Young Sales when the office staff heard Lois and my dad were behind a cubicle wall giggling and talking silly. The rest of the office did not realize that my other sister, Peggy, brought her baby twins to Young Sales and was with Lois and my dad.
Please take comfort in knowing that your mom is now at peace in heaven. She will watch over her loved ones. She is probably talking to God now and getting things organized up there.
She was definitely loved by many and will be missed. May you be comforted by many wonderful memories of her.
Love, Jay, Joan, Claire and Ryan Smith
Diana and Family,
I worked with Lois for many years and developed a relationship resembling mother and son. She always asked how my family and I were doing and to the point she knew my wife and kids by name and always asked when they were coming to the office next.
Lois was such Happy, Go Lucky person it was infectious. If you were having a down day, she could always talk through things with you and cheer you up to the point you could not remember why you were having a bad day. Never worried about the work she needed to accomplish but worried more about you and your health. She was also a funny soul, there were occasions when she would ask about our family plans for the weekend and I would explain all the activities our children were involved in and all the traveling involved with it. She would inquire about their activities even if she was not familiar with them and have a response or questions. At times, I would get tickled and have to explain, but she never lost interest.
I hope that you and your family knows there is a special place for Lois in Heaven which she will carry on just as she did here on Earth.
Love Jeff, Kim, Justin, Brittany, Brandon and Mikah Bange

Worked with Lois at Young for years. She was one of the most genuinely compassionate people I have ever known. She exhibited the Love of Christ and was being conformed into His image just as scripture describes the life of a True believer. She will be missed and it is sorrowful and yet cause for great celebration knowing her final destination! Prayers for the family
