My mother (Mary Jean Binsack Luberger) is 98 turning 99. She said Lois and her were like sisters they lived around the corner from each other. I took my mom to see Lois before Covid hit. Lois still recognized my mom. They were lifelong friends. My mom is sad she was not able to attend. Peace and prayers to your family. My mom will really miss Lois.
