I worked briefly with Mary Lee at the Turnover Shop and remember that she was always a delight to be with and nurtured me along the way. Sorry to read that she is gone, but am in awe of the legacy and joy she leaves behind. My thoughts are with the family

I am saddened to hear of your dear mothers passing. I remember you all fondly as your babysitter and neighbor. Mom was a loving and kind lady. She dressed you all up so cute for the Springlake events. I know you all are comforted that she is now with your father. May your memories sustain you during this difficult time.
