My husband, Morrie Birnbaum, is Lois' cousin. While Morrie has memories of Lois and Harris, I don't. However, I can attest to the enduring love and devotion I witnessed from Lois' mother, Morrie's Aunt Jeanette, her daughter Melissa and son-in-law Cons over the many years that Lois needed care. With the busy lives of her family, Melissa made time to visit her mother, supervise her care from afar, and ultimately, to bring her to Chicago for the rest of her life. Lois may not have been able to express the thanks to her mother, Jen or to Melissa, yet, these women did for her what they would have wanted were they in her place. That is the essence of love, giving of one's self without expecting anything in return. May Melissa, Cons and family find peace at this difficult time.

Though I'm miles away you, you are very near to me in my thoughts and in my heart. Lois was was the first of the "Ellenbogen first cousins". The 8 ou us would meet, eat and spend hours together at our grand parents home on east 51st street. A couple of houses down the block from the home of Aunt Jen, Uncle, Iz, Richard and Lois. Precious moments. Precious people. Meliissa, I knew you when you were very young and remember vivdly the young woman you were becoming. My sympathy and love to you and yours. Richard, I won't say much to you now, but, in my mind, I'm giving you the bigest warmest hug you can imagine. My love you all.
