Lee, June and I are devastated, as we are sure you are, by the loss of Lee J. No words are adequate to express our sincere condolences. To carry on without her will be difficult. You are in our good thoughts and if there is anything we can do, do not hesitate to let us know. Verbal hugs. June and Ernie

We are very sorry about Lee J's passing. May the happy memories of Lee J. help the family find peace of mind and soul.

David and I treasure the visit we had with you, Lee, and Lee J. last June. Dressed -- as always -- beautifully, she was in her "off chemo" week and was doing well, with her positive attitude and jokes about her "yummy" wheat grass breakfast smoothies, grown from your little wheat grass garden. Lee J. was a wonderful lady and often reminded me of your Mother, our dear Aunt Otella, who always was so sweet and gracious. . .both were true ladies. Diana and I also appreciate the close friendship you and Lee J. had with our parents and the joy all your visits and fun times brought to them. We share your loss. Please find comfort in knowing that you and your family are in our daily thoughts and prayers.
