I was privilaged to work with and know this wonderful woman, Lois Scardon. She became a good friend as well as busness partner. I have such fond memories of her. I know she will be greatly missed by her family and friends. My heart goes out to all of her family. She was a mentor for me in starting my career in hairdressing.
My Deepest Sympathy,
