Dear Droppers family: Please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of your loved one. Take comfort in knowing that soon all those in the memorial tombs or grave will be resurrected or raised up back to life in conditions free from sickness and death (John 5:28,29; Revelation 21:4). Those are just two of many comforting scriptures found in the Bible. May the God of love comfort your family and friends during your period of mourning.
I am so sorry to hear about Lois. I only got to know her since she came to Highmore Health. She was such a sweet lady, I wish I had know her longer. She really loved her family and friends. I will miss seeing and talking to her.
I have many great memories of Lois. My favorite being spending a week on the Missouri river every summer with her Morris and Lisa. I hope she is back fishing with Uncle Morris now. Aunt Lois, thanks for the memories.
