Lauren, Susan, Tony and Cosgrove Family:

Mary Ann & I were very saddened to hear of Lois's passing. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Cosgrove Family. Lois was the first person I had working for me but everyone knew she was the person in charge. She would look out and cover for me during those early days of work hard - play hard but always show up. She watched over me like a mother to a son( as I grew up) as well as watching her two daughters grow up, get married and have a family. I will never forget those Christmas in July ( and my Christmas( jungle juice) punch), audit, or birthday party. She loved the company softball games and after parties. Who would have thought in later years our paths would cross on the Little League baseball field of Billerica. She was truly a wonderful person who loved life and who will be missed.
