My deepest sympathy to the Alm family. I was reminiscing about all those great Lamont Hustler 4-H softball games and 4-H meetings. Also those awesome haunted houses. We were blessed to have the Alms as our neighbors in the country growing up. Prayers and Hugs to all.

I can't think of having any better neighbors and friends growing up on Dobbs Road. Lots of great memories of so many school and 4-H activities through the years. Lois was always the most vocal one in the stands cheering loudly for the Lamont Hustlers softball Redbird sports teams. I reminisce from time to time and think of those times so please know in this time of loss that my thoughts and prayers today are with each of you and your families. May God's touch give you peace and comfort.

Lois was in my DHS class of 1950. She was the only girl I knew who had a car and what's more she could fix it. She was a straight shooter.You always knew where you stood with Lois. Underneath her sometimes gruffness was a very kind person. My sympathy to Paul and their family. Donna Martens Born
