In a picture shared via Instagram, viewers see a white plaque designed with a carved cross, a flying dove, and details about Lois and her husband, Frank. Per The Blast, Frank's tombstone detailed that he served in the United States Air Force [USAAF] during World War II. 

The veteran, who lived from 1922 until 2016, spent part of his life as a painter and sculptor, beautifying numerous homes with his artwork, including his famous daughter's mansion.

Just beneath the timeline of Lois' life — 1928 to 2021, was the special message, "I DID IT MY WAY, ME TOO." In the bittersweet post's caption, their beloved daughter penned, "They are together again. Together forever," along with a string of befitting emojis.

The 'Innovation: Getting Your Best Life Ever' Author's Exit From 'RHOBH' Was Inspired By Her Mom

Even though Lisa's departure from "RHOBH" in January shocked the reality show's avid viewers, her explanation of why she made the move calmed the waters, according to the mother-of-two, Lois had appeared to her in a dream and told her to quit the Bravo series.

Sharing her story during an interview, the "8 Simple Rules" star stated, "She came to me. It's so wild because half the world will believe this, half the world will say: 'That's so weird.' I was sleeping, and I heard her say to me: 'It's time for you to go.'"

Since she thought she was losing her mind, the Daytime Emmy Awards nominee contacted a psychic who assured her of the dream's authenticity. "I told a psychic, and she said, 'Oh yeah, she's come to me and told me that. She wants you to be happy and follow your dream, but she says it's time for you to go.' I've never told anybody that except for the psychic. I'm guided by my mom, for sure," Lisa recounted.

Despite getting the nudge from her mom, the "Starlit: A Novel" author had a tough time following through on the decision. She eventually gave in and announced to her fans that she would leave the show after its 12th season.
