My lucky day was when Lois came into our salon. She wanted a hairdresser closer to home. I truly loved and looked forward to her apointments with me. The last time I did her hair at her home, I was still learning from her wisdom.
She refused to go to a nursing facility and to take medications that were pushed her way, back when Viox was OK she was smart enough to refuse it.
Two funny comments I remember, were "Old men were just looking for a nurse and a purse." And, she was kind of disgusted because she had to buy a new water heater, she said she thought for sure she would leave before it did!
Also at her lovely memorial I was able to make friends with her wonderful grandaughter.
