It will be 4 year's on the 21st of this month..Like I said in my last thought's of Lenore. We went together for 3 years. I went threw a bad divorce and I was really down...Lenore took a lot of that sadness away.. Comfort when I was depressed.. There is one big thing we had in common, Dancing non-stop.. There was a local bar in town Brian's Place.. The third Thursday of each month, was Big Daddy DJ.. There wasn't a big dance floor. But when Lenore and I were on it there was no stopping us. There many of those nights where my clothes were soaked with sweat Ha! That was a longtime ago...But the memories are forever....Jimmy Ballard

I will always cherish the poetry you wrote for me growing up. You inspired me at a very young age to pursue art. I remember you being the first person to teach me how to paint, then years later having a discussion with you about my artwork as an adult. You said "everyone can find their own meaning in a painting, it is important not to judge work whether you like it or not, there is always a message to be sought out". I think this is how you lived your life, without judgement, looking for a deeper spiritual meaning. I will miss you Aunt Lenore.

Just want to say that I will miss you very much. I was the first born grandchild and I was the most spoiled by you. You and I had a special bond. I was your little Dee Dee. I know you are not suffering anymore and that you are surrounded by our loving family who were there waiting for you to arrive. Please watch over all of us. I love you Aunt Lenore.
