My condolences go out to all Lea's family. It was a pleasure working with her at Ameriqual for many years. She was a very caring person and gave me very good advice over the years that probably kept me out of trouble. More importantly, she lent me her ear and let me vent even if she didn't give a hoot about the issue, but she sure acted like she did.
I know Lea fought and battled the whole way and as much as I'm going to miss seeing her smiling face, I'm happy she is with God as he couldn't get a greater soul to be with him! I'll miss you dearly babe....even though you were a Forest Park Ranger...Love Ya!
Your Friend in life and death,
Mike James
