Graham and I have enjoyed a long friendship with your mother. From our East Toronto days and then our renewed time when we retired. Sharing our faith through singing in the songsters. Her joy when Dustyn began attending church with her and even more when he became a junior usher taking up the offering. Dustyn you made her so proud. There is nothing stronger than a mother’s love and she loved you all so much.  Barbara

I am so sorry for your loss.  Speaking with Lois and Dustin was always a bright moment on Sunday mornings.  She will be missed.

Lois was a lovely woman and will be greatly missed by me and my Daughter.
RIP.

The practice of your faith through many challenges is an encouraging example.  Comfort is  found in the knowledge that you can experience the reality of the words as you sing:

   "When by His grace I shall look on His face,
     That will be glory, be glory for me!"

Sad to hear of the passing of Your Mom, Kristopher, Sarah and Scott. I have many memories of your times in Montreal. I remember her bringing me African Violets from her Mom when she visited her in Fenland Falls. I remember flying to Chibougamau when your Dad passed away on a rickety little plane.I remember Kristopher playing with his cars in our back yard when we first moved to the West Island and our yard had mounds of earth yet to be landscaped. I remember Sarah’s hugs and happy little spirit. I remember Gerry and I having a part in her wedding to Jim. I remember taking pictures of my granddaughter and Scott in Scott’s crib in St. Catherine’s, Ontario 
I do remember her love for the Lord was a priority as well as her love for her family and friends.
Rest well my friend you did your best with the all you were given. ❤️
Your friends Gerry, Margaret and Gail

I was deeply saddened to hear about the loss of dear, sweet Lois. What a truly special person she was and cherished friend. I shall miss our long conversations over the phone when we shared, cared, laughed and cared some more. Lois had many great qualities, but what I admired about her the most was her unashamed, joyful love  for her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. No matter what life threw at her, her faith was steadfast. She shall always be my inspiration. I shall miss you my dear friend, but will always be thankful for our friendship.
Sending love and sympathies to all her family and friends.
I am not able to be at the service for Lois on Saturday. in person, but I will be there in spirit.

P.S. As Lois's telephone message said:
        Remember, JESUS loves you


Lois was a wonderful friend since we arrived in Canada. She was so warm and welcoming. Rest in peace, we will always remember you. Love Mulu and Surafel

I’m very sorry for the loss of your beautiful Mother and Grandmother. Lois was a very good friend of mine since our high school days. She would come to St Thomas to visit me over the years. We always had great visits. We talked on the phone a lot and kept in touch. I will miss her dearly. My family are all sad for the passing of Lois. She truly loved the Lord and is with him now in peace.  Love Daphne ❤️

To Family and loved ones of Lois Bailey;

In August of 2020 my wife, Sandra & I were appointed as Salvation Army Corps Officers/Pastors at Meadowlands Corps. Shortly after our arrival I was able to visit Lois at her home in St. Catherine's. The masks requirement did not stop her from her hospitality as we shared a cup of tea and a snack together. Since she was in hospital I had opportunity to visit twice, with the intention of raising her spirits. After each visit I discovered my spirits had been raised by her instead. Her positive attitude toward life in general was contagious. Each visit she shared with me her love of family and the importance of her faith. Please accept condolences from us and her church family at Salvation Army Meadowlands Corps.
Owen & Sandra Budden  (Majors/Pastors)

My favorite memory of Lois is from many, many years ago.  Lois and I both worked at THQ and during the winter months we often skated at Nathan Phillips Square before going to work. We had so much fun.  Lois was a good friend and confidant. Condolences to her children and families.  

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Lois was a dear friend. We sent emails back and forth and I sent homemade cards to her. She was a blessing singing in the choir at Meadowlands and she joined us a few times at Ladies Bible Study. She always had encouraging words and had a beautiful smile. She will be missed. A special hello and hugs to Dustin. Your Grandma loves you all so much. Blessings to you all. Love , Diane 

dearest family, your Mom was a lady of great courage and faith. Didn't know her well ,but showed by her words and actions ,her great love of family and the Lord. I am humbled by her willingness to share her love of the Lord . She is now with the Lord and celebrating her eternal life.

Lois once offered me kind words of wisdom and hope when I was a single parent, which meant the world to me. I was very saddened to hear of her passing and hope those who knew her are comforted by their own fond memories of her kindness.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of Lois. She was an amazing, beautiful lady. She would bring a smile to all the staff at the valley restaurant we will miss her dearly.  Rest In Peace 
The valley staff 

I was sorry to hear of Lois' passing. We've been friends for a lot of years. We almost shared an apartment together in  1969 or1970. The last time I visited her the cancer was in remission and she seemed to be getting along quite well. I will be thinking of you, her family, on Saturday. I'm not able to join you in person due to some health issues, but you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
