My deepest sympathy to the family who lost this lovely lady.We were sitting behind the Brennan's at church one Sunday and introduced ourselves to them . They were both charming, and Lois always remembered my name when ever I met her after that. She was a remarkable Lady.

Our deepest sympathy to all of you dear children of Lois and Ed. Herb and I have been neighbors in the Burr Ridge Club for over 35 years and always loved seeing them at our events. Even more fun was our ladies tennis group that met every Monday for our doubles and our laughs and just for our friendships and being together. How I will miss her smiles and knowing that she was there...a beautiful and wonderful person.

Cindy, everyone at Sunstone Counseling is thinking of you and your family. We know your mom was a very special woman and will be forever missed. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves a memory that no one can steal.

The world has lost yet another touch of class who has joined her fabulous husband in eternity. May God hold both in the palm of His hand.

You will all take away from Lois what it means to LOVE family. Sincerely, Nancy and Michael Powers
