    met Lois when I was in 4th grade and she taught sewing in 4-H. She gave me my own seam ripper which I figured she was trying to tell me something. Had the pleasure of connecting with her not long ago. She stayed as wonderful as I remember her long ago. Rest In Peace Lois

    To all the Colburn kids, Lois was quite a lady. Always friendly, I enjoyed her when we were kids and occasionally our paths would cross later in life and we could have a good visit. Lois and my mother stayed friends when both could still get out. Your mom and Stub sponsored a good Grand Marsh family and I’m glad I knew a number of you. Best regards and RIP Lois.
