Although I had not seen Lois in many years, she is top of the list for the "Mom" role models I had growing up. Lois saw me for who I really was, she saw the little girl that didn't really fit anywhere but she didn't care. She was always kind, always had a smile and would talk to me. I remember my first sleepover at her house (she was an excellent sitter), she was so excited to have a girl in her house that usually only had boys (John Sr. & John Jr.). She made sure there was not a dull moment, ever and was an excellent cook/baker. It wasn't always about play though, she would have thought provoking conversations with me and I think that was one of her greatest talents. She put you at ease as soon as you were in her presence. Throughout the years, from a child to an adult with a family of my own, she was always "Mom" to that little girl that didn't really fit in anywhere. Kind, gentle, and full of love.
The world has definitely lost an Angel.
May you soar high in the heavens with your son and husband.
