Lois & Stan were our good neighbors, in Bel Aire for many years. We lived in the house to the east of them. I remember their beautiful yard, that had something blooming,from Spring into the Fall. I got to know Lois even better when I started a Beauty Shop in my home, and become her hair dresser. She was happy to share plants and her knowledge about them. We always tried to have a pretty yard, but Stan & Lois were hard to keep up with! Rob & I learned a lot from them about flowers & trees. They were good neighbors & friends. Lois & I have sent Christmas cards for many years just to keep in touch. I will miss hearing from her, she was a very dear lady.
