My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. Lois and my mother(Marion) were neighbors and friends. They looked after one another and spent a lot of time together. I got to know Lois over the years while visiting. We played cards, discussed puzzles and held many interesting conversations. Lois loved her family and shared her love for you with others. She was a sweet and caring person and will be deeply missed. Our heartfelt condolences to all of her family. Pat & Boo

Mrs. Greiner brought lots of joy to the gatherings and activities she attended with Tara and Michael. I am so happy I got to meet her a while back in Boston at one of the Vistaprint family functions. Through Michael and other family members, her spirit lives on! Sending love and prayers. Meg and Mike

Sending prayers and sympathy's to Lois family. My Mom and she became very good friends while they lived in Hackettstown as neighbors. They loved to play games and enjoyed each other's company and friendship. I got to know Lois over the years while visiting my Mom Marion, we had a lot of great talks and laughs. She loved her family and talked about them often. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. But as Lois mentioned above, she is having a celebration of her homecoming.... Prayers and blessings to her family and friends. Colleen and Mike

What a joyful Spirit she had! She was a wonderful, faithful, life-long friend to her cousin, my Mom, Phyllis. I still can't believe the two of them took that road trip down to the deep south recently to visit relatives and friends. I can just picture them plugging along... She was an engaging conversationalist, and a great listener - you could always tell that she cared deeply about you and your loved ones whenever we got the chance to talk. She will be missed!
