I was so sad to hear of the death of Lois. My late Mother thought the world of her and I have many memories of waving to her and Harold when they would pass our house on their daily walk.

I was saddened to hear of Lois' passing. The Beckstroms always felt close to the Evensons, especially with our common ties to Emmaus Church. There are few of us Norwegian-Danish Methodist preacher's kids left. My best wishes to her family.

We are saddened by the death of Lois. She will be remembered for her zest for life, her interest in everything Norwegian and for being part of the Myhre family in America and Norway.
