My Aunt Lois was a very special person, one who meant a lot to me, in many ways.
After my Uncle Bill's death we became much closer, and after my Mother's death, closer still. A visit with Lois was always one of the things I looked forward to the most on trips back to Saginaw. We would eat lunch, visit Bill's grave, talk at her house or hang with friends at her and Bill's favorite place. I'm going to miss that!
One visit, many years ago, was a favorite. I brought my son Bill back for a Christmas visit and we sung songs around a campfire built at Lathrup Park. We talked about that cold night often. How much fun it was and his "doggy" hat. My son will remember it for the rest of his life.
My Aunt was a proper lady. Spotless house, always nicely dressed, no curse words allowed, and she told it like it is. Refreshing that way.
I'll miss you Aunt Lois!
With Love,
Tom Bird
