I’m so sorry for your loss. Lois was a wonderful friend! Lillie McKinney
Lois was a very special lady. She was always positive about situations that confronted her and her family during the time I was fortunate enough to know her.
Our Bible Study group was something we all looked forward to for being together, learning more about the Bible, and sharing our concerns and praises with each other.
Thoughts and prayers for her family ❤️????
Carrie and Nancy: My heart goes out to you. I pray you find comfort and peace in God’s s grace. Your mother was a wonderful lady. Even though I am no longer married to Dan, I always kept up with you all through our children. Prayers abd hugs coming your way.

My beloved aunt. So generous, so caring, so self sacrificing without a thought that she was even doing that. She and my mother, her only sister, shared a very special lifetime bond forged from such a difficult time to grow up during the great depression. I will truly miss her. My aunt Lois and Uncle Walter poured into my and my siblings life during the time we all lived in Cahokia. Both hold a very dear place in my heart.
Praying for God to comfort her daughters and all of the family.
Carrie and family.. I am saddened to read of your loss. Although I never knew your Mom, her obituary displays a rich life .. as one who blessed those around her. I sense the same in you! My prayer for God’s great comfort to hold you close in the days forward.
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. She was an amazing women friend and mother. Will be missed alot. Love you guys. THUNDERHAWKS❤????????

Carrie & Nancy
I was just informed about your dear and sweet mother’s passing, we are both so sorry for your loss.
Please know that I am sure they are both watching over all of you.
I want you both to know that meeting and having both your mother and father while I was at Marco’s was the best thing that ever happened to me and that their influence has lasted me a lifetime and will never be forgotten.
Once again may they always watch over you both and your family.
