Melanie and family, I wish to extend my heartfelt sympathy for a lovely, lovely lady. I worked under Lois for a few years at Sheaffer Pen and she was such a sweetheart and a good, fair boss. I would see her out at breakfast through the years and we’d always have a nice chat! I am so sad to hear of her passing, sincerely Vicki Park Henry.

Dear Melanie, Wayne , Barry, Kerry, Michael, Jason, Lindsey, Lexi and Jordan our deepest sympathies go out to all of you.
Your mom was a lovely person, so kind and always ready for a chit chat when we would meet uptown. I had many visits with her in the stores and we would have catch up and share what was happening with our families.
I remember visiting mostly when we were younger and your mom and dad farmed. After they moved to town she certainly had a different life being close to the stores, no country winter driving, no chores and had new neighbours and new friends and she has an opportunity to work with people at her work place back then everyone got to know everyone’s families.
Remember all the good fun times you had with your mom to get you through this difficult time.
If the world now had been a different way and place we certainly would have shown our condolences as normal pre Covid days.
Thinking of everyone sending hugs and thoughts your way.

Thinking of everyone at this difficult time.
As I remember Aunt Lois she always had a smile and a bit of a twinkle in her eye. We always had a good visit and catch up time if I seen her uptown.
Every time I go by her house I think about her and remember how kind she was.
Hugs to all.
