" dear family of Lois, Your mom and my husband were distant cousins from the Griffins's side. I meet Lois and Darrell once when they came to Kansas doing family history. They were lovely people. We have exchanged Christmas cards and information ever since. I was sad to get my card back this year. I was afraid this obituary information was what I would fine when I went to searching. I will always be glad that I got to spend time with them. God bless."
In loving memory of
Lois Parsons
February 11, 1931 - December 23, 2020
