You model a life that is such an inspiration and encouragement to us all. Your high standards and moral values are a witness of God's evidence and work in your life. I feel very fortunate to know you. God bless.
I can personaly recommended Lois to do your next party. Lois and her daughters did my daughter's birthday party and it was awesome! All the kids had a really good time and Lois made it special for my daughter, as well as all the guests. Because I know Lois from her teaching my child in school in the past, her reputation speaks for itself and I fully trust her with my children. She did not let me down. I will defintely use PARTY WITH ME next year.
