With deepest sympathy of your loss, I pray that the Lord will comfort you and your family at this time.
I worked with Mrs. Retha Lee at Lockheed and she was more like a mother to me. She would comfort me and give me words of encouragement when my burdens were too heavy for me to bear. She will truly be missed.

My heart goes out to Mrs. Retha Lee's family. A family I have known for years (her children). However, I just got the opportunity to personally meet Mrs. Retha a couple of months ago, she had such a sweet spirit and was so heart felt with love. To the family we are all gonna miss her, but be strong in the LORD!
