My dear Lois, I miss you with all my heart. For over 20 years you graced my life, first as a decorator, of which you were unparalleled, then as a beloved and trusted friend to me and my family. Mickey preceded you in death and I know you are together in heaven waiting for us to join you in time. We had wonderful adentures together, Italy, New York, New Orleans, and so many trips to Houston and Atlanta while we were doing the house together. They are so treasured moments now. We shared all times, birth good and difficult through the years with the changing of times and as our families were on their individual paths. My family loved and knew you as I loved and knew yours. Your beloved children, Jason and Angela, are in my heart and prayers always. And dear Preston, Lois loved you so dearly, and that love never dies. Thank you for all the support and care you gave me as Lois’s close friend. Your devotion to one another was always evident. It was a blessing the day she walked through the door of my home and we became friends. May you Rest In Peace, my dearest friend. You will always be a part of me. With love now and forever. Love, Marguerite (Smith)

Lois was a beautiful lady inside and out. I had the privilege of being her hair stylist for many years and always looked forward to listening to her her stories about her latest decorating job, her sweet daughter and their travels,her son, and her precious grandson. I will miss her beautiful smile and lovely spirit walking through the door. She was such a special lady and I am so glad I had the privilege to know her,she will be greatly missed. My heart goes out to you Preston, I know how special your love was to each other. She will always have a place in my heart!:heart:
