I so enjoyed Lois and worked with her at the St. Andrews Silver Center. She was my inspiration, coming to work as she did. I loved talking to her about her life, habits, etc. and she will remain one of my heroes and someone to pattern myself after. I never met you, but heard a lot about you both---she was very proud of you!
