We are very sorry for the loss of your beloved loved one. Ms Lois grew to know me from eating at Peggy's Restaurant in Wrens GA. Then I learned she was my husband Alton's best friend Ricky's mom. She was always pleasant every time I ran into her and made it known who I was. She was one of many that made me feel welcomed into the community. Rest well Mrs Lois Gordon. It's Your Time Now🙏🏽
Bless your family during this difficult time. I remember Ms. Lois being one of my favorite customers at the Stapleton Post Office. Such a sweet soul. We'd talk and laugh as I helped her with her money orders. Take your rest Ms. Lois.
A Great Humble Sweet Loving Kind Sister with a heart of live and compassion. Family and loved ones were her highlights. You will live on forever in our hearts. You've earned your wings. Soar my love. Sharon Walden and GMBC Tenth District Women's Auxiliary Staff
