I used to do Lois's hair at Janalena Beauty Salon and she and I became friends. She was such a happy person and fun to be around. She and I went to eat and bowling one night. I am sorry for your loss and may GOD be with you through this time.

I have known Lois since we were at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN. I lost contact with her until she came to Church Hill to live with her sister, Clara. I moved to Florida and each time when we would come back to our business in Church Hill, I visited her in her home and then the nursing home. Her best friend, Norma Seaver, helped me to stay updated about her condition. I had just seen her a week ago and she asked for milk which they brought. She will be missed very much by her friends and care givers. May God give all of these comfort and peace.
