To Mrs. Lee: One of the hardest working women we have ever known, always ready to help, and always with a question about the activities of our boys and kind enough to save Dr. Thomason's Christmas cactus which is blooming beautifully now again in her honor. We have fond memories of her and send our heartfelt condolences to Mr. Lee and the family. We hope Mrs. Lee may rest in peace.
