  1. I am so sorry I did not know Lois passed away. She was such a great lady. I enjoyed working with her at the donut shop in Dumas I was a teenager in High School . She worked with my Mom Gelene Hunter and would call her every morning for a wake up call, but Mom Passed away in February 2001. Lois had a smile on her face all the time and was fun to be around.

  5. Mama Hall was my daughter, Beth’s favorite childcare provider when I moved back to Dumas after my divorce and she was three-years old. She and Nannie Hudson were tops in that capacity. She was indeed a precious person and I know you will miss her. May our Lord bless you each with peace, comfort and many fond memories. Grieve-as-you must, not-as-others will tell you is right, wrong and indifferent. Travel the new-pathway clinging tightly to His unfailing and unchanging hands. There are no pathways as each has their own single one.

  6. Although I never met her, she looks precious. That smile is incredible. She will be watching over you all now. I will pray for you all.
