I recall Lois as a person of great skill and sensitivity in her work as an instructor of writing at Red River Community College. She and her partner were valued colleagues I will never forget. Thank you Lois. May you Rest in Peace. - Posted by: Laura Leah Steiman (Admirer and old friend) on: Dec 21, 2024

Even though I never got to see Aunt Lois that many times in my life but each time I did has held many special memories for me. I really miss her and the times we did spend together and hope to one day see her in heaven. I love you Aunt Lois! - Posted by: Michelle L. Carpenter (Niece) on: Oct 01, 2012
