John, Sharon and Becky, I am so soory I did not know of your mothers' passing. I remeber well when my father married "JS" and Margaret. Your dad and mother were ordained in heaven for each other. Two sweeter more devoted people are not to be found. May God comfort you in your loss. Jim Kelly.

The gentle smile and kind words of Mrs. Lee will be long remembered by me She and John were a study in contrasts, but so complimentary to each other. The thing that stands out in my mind about the two of them was, they were always the same, whether at church or out and about. I will always miss them, and our world will be the richer for their living, yet poorer with their passing. May those who knew them, pick up where they left off and live Christ as they did in such a Christ-less world

As many entries have spoken of what a special lady your mother is and I know she will be missed on this earth. It has been many years since we have seen any of you, but we do remember what a special friend both of your parents were to our family when dad was their pastor. God bless you all during this time.
