    So many wonderful memories made with you and your siblings as we were growing up. Our long walks in the summer, laughing and enjoying just being kids. Singing songs and chatting about life in general. Swiping apples from a local farmers Apple tree. I hope you knew how much we loved you. Rest In Peace dear cousin. We will miss you always, until we meet again.
    Love, your forever cousins,

    David and Margie, Connie Jo, Diane and Larry and Marcia and Jim.

    To the Pennington Family: I was so sorry to hear that Lois has passed away. I knew Lois when I lived back in Illinois and some of the other family such as Gene, and Gerald and a couple of her aunts. I know that all of you will miss her but remember the good times you had with her over the years as they are precious. May God bless all of you at tis time and always. I must tell you who I am Marilyn (Shehorn) Tarbutton my mom and dad was Lawrence and Lucille Shehorn. I moved away from Illinois back in June, 1959 to Nevada and then California in 1973 where my husband is from. Love and blessings, Marilyn

    I cannot tell the family how sorry I am for the loss of Lois. She was one of the sweetest persons I knew. We had lots of fun when we were younger. I will never forget the drive-in theater fiasco! I love you Lois and will always hold you dear to my heart. I pray you are singing in the Angels Choir tonight. Deepest sympathy to all the family and especially Bill and your daughter.

    I last saw Lois about 10 yrs ago, she was still the sweet person I have always remembered. I have so many fond memories of her. My favorite was when she bought that snazzy red car. She & Bev would stop & pick up me & my sister and we would head to the big city, Fairfield! She would drive around town & we would stop at Reabans for a hamburger & coke. She always requested that we sing a song for her, It’s The End of the World by Skeeter Davis. She loved that song so much & we loved her. I’m so sorry for your loss.
