I have missed a few digests, so I hope this hasn't been posted but my
very dear friend and musician Lois Hanke passed away early Sunday April
5th , she went in for heart surgury the previous week and remained in
ICU the entire time.

I'm posting this because I know that Lois had many friend from Kerrville
and other parts of Texas and the world who loved her singing and her
spirit, she and I peformed together a few precious times, and she
performed semi-regularly with Steve Brooks and occasionally with Ken
Schaffer, Cara Cooke, Doug Taylor, Kevin Willette, Bud Ho, Ann Mesrobian,
Tom Pittman, and others whom I do not know their names, she is
survivied by her husband Mike , one son and two daughters.

Lois was a warm wonderful person and a heartfelt musician who truly loved
folk and the folks who make up our community, as always when someone
passes it really reminds me that it is time well spent to be kind to
people while you can..you never know when that will be the last..
