Lois was one of my first friends when we moved to Winona. She and I worked together in the church with Methodist Women and we taught the Kindergarten Sunday School class for several years together.
She was an excellent cook and we shared recipes. I loved her and she will be in my heart!!

Carolyn and family, I am so sad to hear of your sweet mom’s passing. She was always so tolerant of whatever we needed her to
do when I was working at Vaiden. You were so faithful to be there with her every day. I will never forget your kindness the day mother passed away. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family now and as you adjust to a daily routine without her. May God’s comfort provide you with peace now and in the days ahead. Love to you and your family.
