I met Lois while volunteering at the food pantry at Kumler United Methodist Church. We became birthday buddies because our birthdays were only a day apart. She loved feeding the hummingbirds at her home and she grew beautiful inpatients in her yard. She was the sweetest person and I’ll miss her. Sending love and prayers to her family, they took such good care of her. So sorry for your loss.
