We will always love you, thank you is not enough for all of the wonderful and loving memories you gave us. Such a special person you were.
To My Loving Mom,
You will ALWAYS be in my heart, and my thoughts and my prayers. I miss you so very much, you made me feel like a special daughter when I was around you. The love you had for us all as a mother and grandmother will never be forgotten. You instilled the Christian faith in many including me. That is what has gotten me through these past few weeks since loosing you.
I am going to attempt your potato rolls. I’ll never be able to duplicate your receipe ,but I sure as hell am going to give it a good try! I love you forever and ever. Your first born,
Audrey
What can I say about a woman who was so amazing. Her love for her family will truly be missed and was looked up to by all. We never had to worry about anything because she was always there to help us, from doing our dishes during Christmas to cleaning out our garages during the summer. You were a worker Grandma…and for that I thank you for instilling your characteristics in me and everyone else who had the pleasure of spending time with such a dedicated woman. We are better people because of you. You were the true nurse of the family; nursing us all through everything that life threw at us. I hope that I can be as kind hearted and at the same time “firey” spirited as you. You stuck up for those you loved the most. You will be with me in everything that I do and I hope I can pass of your love for human compassion and devotion in my life and career.
Your grandson,
Darren
Words cannot express how much Grandma meant to all of us. The unselfish manner in which she approached life is a model to us all. Her love for Grandpa, and her family, is something that we will all remember forever. We can only hope that the rest of our lives will be as meaningful and fulfilling to others as your life was to all of us. While she has no more work left to do here on earth, the example Grandma set for her friends and family will not be forgotten. We love you Grandma,
Bryan
My condolences to the family does not seem to be enough for someone who has been in my life for 33 years and treated me as a daughter. It is said that “A mothers heart is a special place where children always have a home” and it is so true in this case. For Lois Mom always had a place in her heart for me and my family and I will always have a place in my heart for her! I miss her and I will find comfort in all the wonderful memories we share. “The special people who cross our path in this life make the journey more beautiful” This is so true of my best friend Roxy and all of her wonderful family especially her Mom.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Debbie
My Dear friend, I will miss you so much, words of encouragement, FAITH and hummor. I Could never leave your home without a Hot cup of Tea and a wonderful baked goodie. Lois, Your Love for our Heavenly Father, and encouragement of Faith will remain forever in my Heart. You are in His arms, and in his garden.
Mom, you are the greatest Mom. There was nothing you would not do for me. In your things I found a little book about parents I gave you guys when I graduated from nursing school and EVERYTHING in it is true! I miss you so– much but know you are now finally at peace and are making a place for Dad. Love you forever, Roxy
Aunt Lois You are going to be missed a great deal but I know that you are in Heaven with our Mom. She will be waiting for you. It is so overwhelming to me that you would die only 9 days after Mom.The two of you will have a great coffee kletsch up there. Love you and miss you
Grandma Moltzau…I love you so very much and will miss you but know you are with your creator just where you wanted to be. I’ll miss your smiling face and wonderful attitude towards life. You were a strong willed person and fighter to boot and God loves you so very much. I know you accepted him in your heart which we can all rest knowing this. I rest at peace knowing that you are with him now and forevermore. Thank-you for ALL of the wonderful memories from “cream cheese” to Lake Chelan, to your meatloaf and rolls, and of course your beautiful garden that you were so proud of at your house up on the hill, I will hold them AND you in my heart always. I love you more then you will ever know. Your granddaughter always, Valerie :
