The family would like to express their sincere thank you to the Center On Aging & Health for the love and care that was shown to Lois and to Amedisys Hospice during her last couple of weeks.
It was the wish of both Gerald and Lois to be cremated. Lois had been in possession of the urn containing Gerald's ashes, holding this until the time came when both urns could be buried together. A graveside memorial service will be held at Evergreen Cemetery at a later time. This service will be to honor and remember the lives of both Gerald and Lois. As both their ashes return to this earth together, their spirits are now together for all eternity.
