LEE SWANDER SPENCE

Part of one’s legacy is the way we deal with adversity, especially serious health problems. Lee certainly demonstrated incredible courage, tenacity, outlook, and dignity as she faced each challenge. To my cousins, Ham and Judy, my deepest sympathies. To Lee’s children, I hope you will take comfort in knowing that she thought the world of you and was so very proud of you. There is nothing I can say that will ease the pain for you, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Judy,
My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy is with you, Kim and Tommy. Please
remind them who I am as it has been a
long time since I have had contact with
them.
Please take comfort in the fact that Lee fought a valiant fight for many, many years and that she no longer suffers. Her positive attitude was unsurpassed.
Sincerely,
Jean Manlove
