Lois, one of the most loving and caring people I have ever known in my life. While I could not be with you in person, I was always with you in spirit. I never saw you without a smile on your face and you gave the world Melanie for which I thank you so much. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, healed. I know Nelson was happy to see you and I look forward to seeing you both again one day. Melanie, I will never forget Lo. I pray for your strength and continued bravery in the face of such a loss.
Always a friend,
Lyn

Please accept my sympathy for your loss. Your mother had a wonderful smile and laugh, and so did Mr. Ressler. They were among my favorites at The Rose Bowl.
Best Regards,
