After watching the service online, if you can leave a guest message to let the family know you have joined into the service, that would be greatly appreciated.
What a wonderful tribute to Lois this service was. Lois and had taught together at Korowa CEGGS during the 70s, and I was glad to be able to watch this farewell to my friend with my daughter who’d first met Lois as a toddler about 37 years ago, and was immediately smitten by Lois for the person she was.
I will miss our friendship, our phone calls, our celebratory catch-ups and our visits to one another. However, most of all, I am just grateful to have been called her friend.

We had the pleasure of meeting Lois only once, recently, when Marianne and Tony joined us for a quiet meal on our side of the fence.
Snatching a glimpse, that evening, of a lady whose name previously appeared only in snippets of conversation, revealed threads of a rich and interesting life woven into a tapestry of personal achievement, travel and unfettered adventure.
Sadly, we never managed the chance to explore any of those threads with her further.
Undoubtedly, Lois now sits astride her new bike, probably a 750, exploring fresh corners and enjoying different quests.
Thinking of those left behind.

My sincere condolences to Lois’ family. Thank you for the on-line service and all the lovely photos. It did capture the essence of Lois and the full life she had, loving nature and adventure and yet with her family always dear to her heart.
Ever since we were friends at Young High School Lois has been an inspiration. In our later years we travelled Australia by motorhome and cruised overseas and supported each other in times of need. She was fun to be with, easygoing, loved nature and its wildlife, and had many interests. While a rebel at times, she was also spiritual yet with a lot of good advice through all her varied experiences, much appreciated by me in our motorhoming expeditions to the outback.
Lois was indeed a special person, and leaves many happy memories behind that will always be cherished by me and those that knew her. I smile because she lived. With Love, Rona
A lovely farewell. I wish I could have been there.
As a footnote to the service; We know that Lois loved animals and, in particular, the animals of the Australian bush. Anyway, something rather odd – even spooky – happened as I watched.
As the video presentation was ending with the words “Farewell Lois” on the screen, two kookaburras opened up on the back fence not 20 feet from my window.
The timing was so perfect that I thought it was part of the presentation and it was only the loudness of their song that eventually made me aware of them.
A farewell from the bush or, so like Lois, her wanting to have the last laugh on me?
Dear Marianne, Tony and Family,
Our thoughts are with you all on this sad occasion. What a comforting service in these difficult Covid blighted times but, with the aid of technology we, and many other friends and family, have been able to join with you in spirit to remember Lois. No doubt she had a most interesting life which she lived to the full and now the agony of the last few months is over, she is at peace..
Our sincere love and condolences.
Graeme and Heather
Thank you for inviting us to join you today – I knew Lois through the Taoist Tai Chi Society. She was a joy to know, with her ready smile and impish grin! We shall miss her.
Kindest regards, Margaret
A lovely service which was a fitting tribute to Lois. A warm hearted and generous woman, always cheerful and sometimes even a bit cheeky. She is sadly missed by her Tai Chi friends in Canberra. Sincere condolences to her family and other friends, as we mourn her passing.
What a beautiful service by the family, giving Lois a very appropriate ‘goodbye’, very well spoken by Kara & Stephen speaking for Matthew … the flowers a gorgeous touch – very nice service,
Goodbye Lois,
Rob & Terry xoxo
My thoughts are with you all at this time. May your fond memories of Lois support you during this time of grief, knowing that Lois lived a full life and loved you all deeply, as you loved her.

What a lovely service and tribute to Lois.
Thank you to those who put together the excellent photos too.
I feel privileged to have know Lois and I always looked forward to my meetings with her, often held by phone from far-flung places to hear all about her latest travels since our previous meeting.
Rest in peace Lois and I hope you are still playing the banjo 🙂
Lovely service. We loved sharing Lois’s varied life’s experiences.
Our prayers are with Lois and to you, Marianne and Tony and all your family.
God Bless.
Thank you for allowing my sister and me to share this day with you. Our memories of Lois will always stay with us. We shared some very good times with her over the years. Jude enjoyed many Tai Chi adventures and I shared lots of banjo playing times. Love Gaye and Jude from Coolum.
We are so privileged to have had Lois in our lives – so many happy and fun memories; she was the best friend. Deepest sympathy to the family. Lots of love Helen and John (Tai Chi friends)
Dearest Lois (‘O’)
Thank you for your love and friendship.

We are thinking of you Marianne with the loss of your dear sister Lois. It was always a joy to catch up with her when in town and we think we got her as a friend. We loved talking about her love of the bush and her wide Oz travels. Rest In Peace
Remembering Lois and sending warmest thoughts to family and friends. Love from Sue & Sydney Branch members of the Taoist Tai Chi Society of Australia Inc (including Mark and Glenn from New Zealand)
Thinking of all the family to-day and in particular my childhood memories as young children growing up to-gether in Young with Uncle Reg and Aunty Ruth. Reg was my War Time Dad whilst my dad was in the Air Force and as I can recall you 2 girls wern’t beyond getting me in to trouble with mischief. Love Des & Marg
Wonderful memories of Lois- a great neighbout in Young.
RIP Lois
Snelo
Rest in peace, Lois
Fond memories of growing up in Young as close fiends of the Howards and a lifetime friendship with Lois and Marianne.
