My prayers are with the Joseph family. I met Mrs. Joseph during the 1980's at the LA Dept of Education. She was so very helpful and friendly in assisting me with certification matters. Ultimately, I came to work at the LDOE in the same office in 1999 and always tried to provide the same service and courtesy to others as she did. A great woman!

My deepest sympathy to the Joseph family. I will remember Lois as a kind, caring and loving person. Very much a Lady.
We worked together at the LA Department of Education and shared many lunches at work and away from the office. You, her children, were always a part of our conversations. She was so proud of each of you.
My prayers are with you. Take care.

Aunt Lois was always a kind loving person. I felt very welcomed in her home in Baton Rouge. She will be missed. I pray for strength for all of my cousins, for only GOD can fill that emptiness inside of you. Love you all.....
