Sorry I was unable to attend the service for Lois – my sympathy goes out to the huge, extended, loving family she leaves behind. I’ve known, admired & charished their acceptance/inclusion of me within the family for over 50 years. Many wonderful times & tons of laughter have been shared. May Lois now Rest In Peace with the assurance she will never be forgotten. Most sincerely- Armand Fritsch

To all of the Hostetter children I send my sincerest condolences. Lois was a big part of my life growing up because I spent so much time hanging out at your house. She was always kind and attentive and welcoming to me. Having been a mom, I really appreciate how nice it was of her to welcome yet another kid into her already large family. I remember Lois as being energetic, outgoing, fun, loud, good humored and busy (no doubt). I send prayers and love to all of you as you face the hole left in your life by your mother’s passing. May the memories of your life with your Mom bring you comfort and, eventually, joy.

My deepest sympathy to the Hostetter family. Although I’m not related I’ve always felt like part of the family from spending time with Jake hunting and fishing to having conversations and solving the world problems with Lois on a daily basis during the Safe Harbor days. I will miss her.
