I've never forgotten this lovely woman. Lois for me was an angel. She was my nurse in the Cobourg Hospital on Chapel St., when I gave birth to my children. While I was in discomfort, and unknown territory, she was an angel and helped me through it and later would bring my baby to me and would teach me through nursing and stay until I was comfortable and always let me keep my babies in my room longer then she was suppose to. RIP Lois. Condolences to son, Paul and family.
