Thinking of Lois brings back so many happy memories of times spent at the Holt house with Lois and my dearest friend, Jolene.  I held her babies in my arms and visited her in NJ.  She was a bright light in my childhood, and the happy reunions continued in Weare, NH.  Best meatballs ever, Loie!!  Sending my deeperst condolences and so much love to her family and especially her sister, Jolene, my very best friend in the world.  I am so sorry for your loss.

Jolene, Myrna just emailed me, and how well I remember Lois.  Lovely obituary which shows a very full and active life, even
though I know she had her problems. The whole Holt family is emblazoned on my heart.  White Plains was the place to grow up
in those days.  Love you, and know this is difficult to lose someone you have loved your whole life.  Remember there is still Mryna and me..and probably some left over stew from Jude.  Love and remember you are in my heart. Barbara (Bobbie Babaloo)
