Dear Bob, Ralph, Richard,
May your grieving be short and your memories be long. Your mom used to call me "Lady Di." I started calling her "Lady Lois." Then she became "Lady Lois the Lottery Lady."
She was the only cook in town that could get to cheat on my diet! Iwill miss our daily talks. She be in our hearts forever! God Bless You! Love Lady Di

I had met Lois when I moved to NJ from PA... She was a wonderful woman and she and I both shared the same love for Elvis...so now when I see Elvis I will think of your Mom as well. My heart goes out to your family..

Dear Risch family, Mom was a great person to us that had breakfast and lunch at the cafe. She made my English muffin and eggs just right, not too runny and not too dry. She loved to talk about her family. May God bless you all at this time of berevement. Adrianna and the girls from the pool.

Dear Bob, Ralph and Richard,
Your mother had ment a lot to many of her friends in the K Cafe, and along life's path. Many people came in off the street and in from Pathmart for breakfast and lunch, not only for the food, but to see there friend Lois. She will be missed by many, and there will be a lost in all our lives, and an empty spot in the K Cafe without her there, but she'll be in our hearts, lives and thoughts forever.
May God bless you guys, as you continue on with your lives. Also, take good care of your doggy sister for your mom.
With love,
Kathy Bodnar
