To the Family of Lee,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, but as we all know, God never makes a mistake. Of course, that does not lessen the pain, but she is in a better place now. Ann, I will never forget when you came to Atlanta and my children, my sister and I visited with you at Lee Lee's home and they played in the swimming pool. Many years ago. She was a beautiful person.

I want to express my deepest sympathy and prayers to the family. My memory of Rosa (Lee Lee) was when she was leaving for the the flight attendant job she was at my sister's house I was there with my typewriter and she sat down with me and showed me a phrase on the typewriter to help me with my typing that was something I never forgot about her. I was truly sad to hear of her passing.
