Dr. Lois Perry Trahan Richardson - Guestbook
Lois had a difficult childhood and learned eary on that she would need to work hard to obtain a financially secure life. Nothing was just given to her the easy way. She worked for every thing she ever had and saw her education as a source of security.
What a great mother Lois was to all of her children. She accomplished much while working and raising four daughters. She was very intelligent, beautiful and strong willed. She never quit on her family and was persistant with her protective ways. She always cared for others and voiced her opinions through the years politically.
Mom Lois was a spiritual person even though she did not sit at the end of her life in a church due to illness. She believed in the strength of the family unit and that partners in marriage should honor their agreement.
A true warrior and lioness!! A woman before her time. I loved my mother Lois Perry Trahan Richarson !!! I miss her dearly! Tracy Trahan Bannerman

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU.
I AM SORRY THAT I DID NOT HAVE THE CHANCE TO MEET LOIS. I WOULD HAVE LOVED THE CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH HER.
I AM JUST NOW BEGINNING MY RESEARCH OF THE PERRY FAMILY AND HAVE FOUND MANY LONG LOST FAMILY MEMBERS.

Dear Tanya,
I have tried to reach you by e-mail but your box is full. I want you to know how very much I appreciate you letting me know about Lois. I have notified the other Perry Cousins and they have all responed with the same deep sadness I am feeling. It is so strange to feel such grief over one who has been your online friend and cousin. We have shared so much of our lives and feel so bonded with each other.
My love to all of Lois's family and friends.
In Christ,
Mary Frances

My sincere condolences to Frank and the family. It was a privilege to work alongside Lois at Blinn College for many years before she retired.
She was always upbeat and positive, and someone I could talk to about college business.
I will miss her.
All the best to the family,

Lois and I were e mail Perry Cousins. I came to admire her intelligence and genealogy skills. Her determination to fight her physical frailties were in the finest Perry tradition. I will miss Lois.

Lois was always interested in finding more relatives and exploring how they were related. She longed to know who the parent of the 7 Perry brothres was - well, she probably knows now.
May the Lord bless her family as they will miss her, as we all will.

Though we never met in person, Lois was an active participant in our Perry family research group for many years and I felt a strong kinship with her. I am a more diligent researcher for having worked with her, and will miss her insight and spirited dialogue.
Blessings to all her close family and friends,

I know of no words which can express the depth of my sorrow over Lois' death. My prayers are with all of you. As you know, Lois and I have been best friends since we met in 1974 at Texas A&M. Of all the nice things I could say about Lois, I will be selfish and tell you I will miss my many trips to Brenham and our all night "gab sessions." I feel privileged that she shared her family with me through the years. May God hold you close and comfort all of us during this time.

We are so sorry to hear about your loss. I only knew Lois through genealogy research (my mother was a Perry), but know she was well thought of and appreciated.
May God comfort your family as you mourn her loss--knowing that with our hope in Christ, it is only a temporary separation.

Lois will be greatly missed by those you have worked with her online, while searching for our Perry family ancestors. She was what I would call an avid researcher.
To her family I am so sorry for your loss. I will also miss her e-mails. She took with her so much knowledge of her family's roots.
Best Regards,
Mary Frances Perry Bennett
