My step-mother Lois, my dad's wife, and all my step family's Mama and Granny. My sincere and sweetest heartfelt condolences. She will be missed. Tho i did not see her much or keep a close contact to the family - because of my own far away and busy life - she was always very much respected and admired by me. It was always understood - even when I wasn't there - that she welcomed me and left an open door to their home. The thing I remember most was her southern ways and contagious sassy laughter. She sure knew how to keep my dad in line when he needed it (not too often:) and knew how to straighten him like an ironed shirt. But ready to hug & embrace the next minute in a heartbeat. She had a great sense of humor and always laughed (well almost always) at my dad's silly jokes... I know she made him real happy. I know he loved her and still loves her to the moon and back and more. They were very happy together for 38 years, and now she is resting, and I believe will one day be with Dad again. She was a wonderful woman. Rest in peace Lois. You are loved and not forgotten.
