Dear, sweet mother-in-law: You were there when Eddie needed you and Carroll the most, and that helped me so very much! Your Godliness was always an inspiration to me and I looked up to you more than you knew. I know you are with Carroll and Elaine now and happier than you could have been if you had stayed here on this sinful earth. I almost envy you. I know I will see you in my welcoming committee when it is my time to join you in Heaven and I look forward to that reunion. Until then, rest in peace.

I remember Lois from when I was a teenager at Bethel Baptist Church in the early 70’s and through her family members afterwards. She was a sweet and Godly woman and will be welcomed into Heaven by Jesus, her husband Carroll and other loved ones she has missed over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with her family, may God and special memories comfort each of you in this time of sorrow.
