Our most heartfelt condolences go out to Lois' family. She was truly a neat, neat lady and simply beautiful inside and out. During her time at Dockside Restaurant, Steve and Joe had the pleasure of working with her and I (Elisa) got to know her as a result of that.

She will always remain one of our favorite people and I know that Dockside will not be the same without her.

Steve, Elisa and Joe Danz
