I think there were 7 sisters. Only one of these wonderful gals is still with us, Aunt Fran. What a tough lady. They were all so fun. The best times were when they were all together. We would all listen and laugh as they all shared stories and dreamed up new ways to have fun. We had the good fortune to drive Aunt Babe & Aunt Lad to Waukegan once with the boys, Jared, Jesse & Ross and got to meet her family there and they all treated us so great. We will miss her and all of her sisters but with fond memories.

Aunt Babe was a wonderful sister and a wonderful aunt and a great friend to so many. We will always miss her. We have so many fond memories of her and she was so special to all of us--
her loving sister Frances, and her nephew Gerald, niece Yvonne & grand nephew Michael. God bless her and her family.

"Auntie Lee" will be missed by so many of us whose life she and "Uncle Beno" not only touched, but helped us in so many ways.
I was blessed to have lived next door to them from Dec. 1961 until June 1968, and Rob and Rae Lynn lived in and out of their house for all those years, and we all have such great memories of those years.
"Auntie Lee" came to Ft. Polk, La. in Sept. 1992 for Rae Lynn's wedding and we loved having her with all of us.
God Speed this remarkable "Lady" on her Journey Home to join all her loved ones who have gone on before her, especially her "Beno".
Our deepest sympathy to all the family.
And we Thank You "Auntie Lee" for allowing us to be a part of your love and family.
Love,
Barbara and Durrell Johnson

Our dear Auntie Lee is no longer with us, and she will be greatly missed. I will always have wonderful memories of her, and mementos, such as the stuffed animals, Christmas ornaments and holiday pot holders that Auntie Lee had made for us with love. She was a "Great" Aunt to many, and I was lucky to have her in my life.
