    Lois Cole Memorial Book Club meeting

    I have been meaning to send you this photo from the first Lois Cole Memorial Book Club meeting December 20. Mostly we just caught up with each other, talked about Lois and old times, and about Margaret’s book. We did agree to keep getting together though, and plan our next one January 17. Wouldn’t Lois…

    We always used to joke that Lois was ten years out ahead of me on life’s voyage, but I would object, saying it wasn’t a fair metaphor because she was so amazingly youthful and full of mischief. Now that she has set sail for the farthest shore, I can only hope that she’s blazing the…

    Lois came into my life when I was 10, married my dad when I was 16, greeted guests and sent me off with a hug as I walked down the aisle to get married when I was 27, shared in my joy when I became pregnant with Emily at 29, reunited with me after a…

    Oh, Lois – I considered her a friend;  we met through CUUF, and I started missing her when she moved to California to be with her beloved family.  She was a charming greeter when i started going to fellowship in 2012.  I soon realized how special she was.  One thing that stands out for me…

    I had the delight of speaking to the congregation about Lois Cole this morning at the UU Fellowship Lois attended.  Two of her friends, Diane and Chris, with me, spoke of her importance to us and the Fellowship.  Lois and I worked together in our own self-generated committee to “Pay off the Mortgage” of our…

    Again, my condolences and love for the passing of your wonderful mom.  I’m so glad I got to see her one last time in June, and be reminded of her perennial cheerfulness!!! – even amidst the growing confusion that overtook her with mental deterioration toward the end.  I mentioned it during the “joys and sorrows”…

    My wife, Sandie, and I met Lois through the UU church here in Wenatchee. She was such a joy to be around! Sandie and Lois were in the same Covenant Circle. Lois and I were both part of the Middle Eastern drumming and Zen meditation groups. These were pretty tight knit groups, and we also…
