Dear Stephanie,Nancy,Susan and All,
Ann and I were saddened to hear about Lee's passing. She loved "holding court", and I'm sure she is doing it right now.
Words can't express our sorrow for your families, but the memories and the laughs you shared will prevail.
God Bless,

Susan, Nancy and Stephanie,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time.
I have many happy memories of times spent with you all.
I will always remember Lee sitting at the big round table at the Lake reading the newspaper and "Star" magazine.
She was so easy to be with and made everyone feel welcome.
She was a great lady!

To: "Gram",(I never knew you as anything else!)
First off, I just wanted to say thank you for making me feel like I was a part of your family since the first time that I had met you. You made me feel so at home everytime I was up in Lake George with your family. It was truly an honor and a privilege to have known you and to have called you "Gram".

To The Pierce, Neary, and Murray Families:
I just wanted to say that I am deeply saddened by your loss. What I loved most about her was her "tough as nails attitude". Her sense of humor was like no other, as was her love for her family which was evident every time I was in her presence. My deepest sympathy to your family durring this tough time.
