Of course my beautiful friend passed the same day Israel became a nation. 👑✝️ I'm missing you Lois, Denny and your family. Blessings to all! ♥️

Lois was one of 63 grandchildren born to the 13 children of the Hans Peter and Elizabeth Nielsen (Nelson) family - the mother of Lois was one of those 13 children. Growing up -along with Lois- I was one of the grandchildren, I adored being with as many first cousins at family events as possible - but I admit, Lois was always one of my very favorite cousins. She kept her great sense of humor throughout her entire life; she remained a good and caring human being; she was quick to recognize the needs of family and friends; she knew how to forgive people and events that were not of her liking. I said in a letter to her family: "When it came to being a member of her family or a friend, Lois was like a four leaf clover - hard to find, lucky to have.";

My heart breaks for your loss...Lois was the most loving mother, grandmother, wife and aunt that I have ever known. We almost grew up together even though there were 14 yrs between us. I loved when she stayed with us in Tracy to graduate school there. I was a little shaver then but loved her to death. We have had so many wonderful times together through the years and so many memories, mostly good. I am so glad I talked to her last week for an hour...we hated to hang up but I was so looking forward to seeing her in July. I wish all of you peace and love in the family because you never know when you'll be called Home. My deepest sympathy to all. Your cousin, Patty;

Our Deepest Sympathy to you all. Lois was such a blessing. She had such a wonderful kindness about her, and the greatest sense of humor! She will be deeply missed, but has left such a wonderful legacy in her family and in all of our hearts. All our Best, Jeff, Kris, Mackenzie, and Marissa Meier.;

Hard to believe. Our lives will change dramatically without her. Love you all you so much!;

I miss my grandma so much. I am so happy that she didn't suffer that much and she is now with all those I know she missed. I love you grandma. Zak;

My grandma was an amazing woman, and I miss her with all my heart, though I am happy that she is now reunited with loved ones that have passed. Spending time with so many family members is helping us all very much to get through this.;

I miss life with mom very much, family is a great pacifier.
