Mabel & Family:

Peggy and I are so sorry to hear about the passing of Lee. Mabel, Peggy remembers the many times that she spent visiting with the two of you in Sam's Club. I remember the many times that Ron and I went Cat Fishing and then running into Lee in town and telling him about how many we caught and then the tales kept getting bigger and bigger from there. Mabel you have a wonderful family and we wish you and your family the best.
