Lois being serious

R: What life lessons do you consider important?
Lois: All of them.
R: Which would you stress?
Lois: Love your neighbor as yourself; love your family as yourself. (2011)


R: Any messages you want me to pass on to your grandsons?
Lois: Behave yourself. Behave yourself, behave yourself, it's later than you think... (2011)

Lois: I like them all. I don't know what I would do without anyone one of them. (9/2014)


R: Do you have any wishes concerning your funeral and memorial service?
Lois: I won't be there to comment one way or the other, so I will leave that up to you.
