Dear Joan and David, Lois and Abe were good friends of ours. Many years ago our Friday evening group enjoyed lots of fun, good times together. Lois and I first met on the golf course and our friendship grew from there. She always delighted in talking about her grandchildren and great grandchildren. I will cherish many, many happy memories I have of times spent with Lois and Abe. My love, thoughts and prayers are with all of you, Martin and Nonie Booth
Lois was such a sweetheart, I am sad to see her go - prayers for her family and friends
Lois, you were the definition of a good lady! I remember the times we had on the golf course and the discussions we had with you and Abe about the Redskins. Peace be with you and your family now.
Dear Joan, My condolences to you and Dave. I have so many wonderful memories of times with your Abe and Lois. I also remember the visit of you and Rachel to our home and her enjoyment of all the bears I had! In our last phone comversation Lois and I both expressed how much we miss being with the Shank brothers. Love to you and Dave. Nancy
