Knowing Lois has been such an inspiration to me. Her ceaseless devotion to family, friends and her faith, was unending. Lois had such an exhilaration for life and savored each beautiful new day as a gift; thankful for each hour given;allowing her to shower upon her wonderful grandsons and family a love that would never be forgotten. We will miss Lois so much, but always thankful to have had her touch,and be part of our lives.







Love,

Elizabeth (Liz)

(wife of Edgar DuMais, brother of Lois)
