Ode to Lois: the nicest woman one would ever want to meet. Beautiful on the inside, stunning on the outside. Elegant. Refined. Dignified. A wonderful mother and wife. An excellent cook and handyman. Always impeccable in taste and manners. May she rest in peace, finally free of all trials and tribulations, fear and pain, disappointment and rancor. No more strife, no more worries, no more cares. We rejoice that she now lives in love within the glorious arms of God our blessed Father.
