Sweet Precious Aunt Lois, I still canβt believe this is even happening. You were ALWAYS there for me when I was in high school I wanted to stay at your house all the time. You were loved by everyone that met you. We have had so many laughs and one of favorites was our trip to Chattanooga. What a time we had. I am so grateful for that trip. Heaven has certainly gained an angel. Fly high with the angels Gorgeous!! Give all of our loved ones love from all of us. I know Granny was so happy to meet you at those pearly gates. I will always LOVE YOU. RIP my ANGEL
