    We'll never forget when Lois, Clarence & Carol came to our house for Christmas dinner. Lois talked about her many years of eating health foods and Clarence about his daily walks. It was beautiful to see their love and devotion for each other and Carol's happiness from spending Christmas with them. Our hearts go out to their family.

    Aunt Lois was such a warm and caring person and always made us Ekstrom kids feel special. I'll always have such fond memories of the Christmas Eves at their home in South Holland when we were kids.
