The Sloats were my childhood neighbors. Growing up, I remember many musical get togethers with them and spending time with their boys. Lois was a constant and kind presence and had a deep faith in God. My sincere condolences to the Sloat family during this difficult time.

Mom.
I have had the privilege to have you in my life since I was 18 years old. It started out at the diner, you were the cook and I was the waitress. Who ever knew that after that I would marry your son. Here we are over 30 plus years later. You were the best mother in law ever, your love for your family, caring and the love you had for the lord. I will always and forever hold our last conversations in my heart. We will miss so much until we meet again. With love your loving daughter Dallas ❤️
