The Seley family has been tremendously blessed through the years with incredible friends. I'm not sure anyone loved us more than "Miss" Lois. She was always telling us when we would see her how much she loved us. She was a special gift to us in so many ways: a loyal and trustworthy friend, a faithful wife to her husband, an adoring mother to her daughter, such a proud Grandmother of Jonathan and his children, a genuine example of a Christ-follower. And, in addition to that, she possessed a great sense of humor. Our lives are richer for having known this wonderful lady. She was one of the "best." Dale Seley

Jonathan,

You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. Momma Lois was one special lady and will be missed by all. Jonathan, she adored you from the time you were born. She was there for us when we lost Mom and Jim and we knew we could call here at anytime. Momma Lois will always have a special place in our hearts. She always had a special smile and was always there to listen to any problem you may have. We will miss her always!

She loved me. I knew it was so because she said she did. She was a dedicated mother, wife, sister-in-law, grandmother and great-grandmother. Jonathan she adored you. I treasure the time spent with her.

Johnathan and Abby, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of my good friend, Lois. We did not visit much in the recent past, but we always knew that we were there for each other. I loved her very much, too.
