Sorry for your loss. There arnt many of us left from that generation. I think I’m the youngest, but I came so late, I relate more to the next generation at times. See you on Friday.

My Heart is so sad with the loss of Lois! I know if there’s a IHOP in Heaven she is there right now having her 12th round of Coffee!! I know she has a lot of Heaven hugs from the people that love her. Thank goodness she isn’t suffering anymore. My love and prayers go out to her family and friends and I send you all hugs for healing. Love this family

You are an inspiration to me. You will always have a special place in my heart. I’ll miss your quick wit, your vibrant personality, and YOU. You were a loving mother and Mother-in-Law. And such a kind and gentle woman, who I will always treasure. As I said to you each and every time I hung up the phone with you, “I love you.” I will miss you deeply.

You are sipping coffee with the angels now, and watching your wonderful, loving family. You will be greatly missed, but the world will still have your legacy in their lives, the legacy of the family you helped build. Thank you for them.

Sorry to hear of your loss. She was such a great and loving lady. Didn’t get up that way much, but always enjoyed getting to see her and Earl at the family reunions. She will be truly missed by all her family and friends. Love you and will miss you.

Condolences to the Umbinetti family. We (the Miller family – Doug & Karen and kids Laurie, Jeff, Cindy) lived two doors down from the Umbinettis in Burien during the 1960’s and I have great memories of Shari walking me to kindergarten and 1st grade as she was a year or two older than me. I remember constantly running through the Umbinetti house and usually making off with a cookie or two before we all went back outside. Lois was always so kind and welcoming despite having a houseful of the neighborhood kids at all times. So sorry for your loss.

If Lois Ruth only knew who Sheila Chelf really is, she would be rolling in her grave. She’ll know now. Very sad she has to watch the truth from Heaven. So sad Sheila won’t be there.
