The following was written and spoken at Lois' funeral. It was written by her lovely daughter Loretta Boone Rawlings.
A BOUQUET OF ROSES FOR OUR DEAR MOTHER
The first rose from Kenneth is a token of his love for this gracious lady. In their 68 years of marriage, they built and shared a good life together.
The next five roses represents the love her children had for her. She was always there for us, listening to our plans or problems, crying over our sorrows and we always knew that EACH of us was her favorite child!
The seventh rose honors a wonderful Mother-in-law, one who treated each spouse with both dignity and respect.
One dozen is an expression of her grandchildren's love. They'll remember she praised them for each success, shared and cared about their daily lives. She made them welcome on a visit whether it was an hour or several days.
Twenty roses are symbolic of her great-grandchildren who always knew that grandma wouldn't forget them on their birthday.
Two tiny rosebuds are here for her two great-great grandchildren...So whether you were the first or the last of all these grandkids YOU were always the special one to her.
This bunch of roses is from her brothers and sisters who have always remained close. Also, the community in which she lived, will miss a good person who was faithful to her friends, neighbors, and church. If you've ever been
blessed by receiving one of her Swedish Tea Rings right from the oven...you knew she had a heart of gold!
The last rose is from GOD as he takes her home to heaven.
