Lee and Elise, and Family. I hold in my heart many fond and dear memories of your Mom. We worked together at Dictaphone Corporation. Also from church, knowing your wonderful Dad and your Mom was such a pleasure. May you thrive on the many wonderful memories you have. Love, Susan Loveland Cragin

Dear Elise, Lee, and families,
I am so sorry to read of your mother's passing. She and your father were such integral parts of our community: in the church, in AFS, and in the neighborhood! But I will primarily remember them for being such extraordinarily friendly and kind people; a beautiful legacy which I know will bring you comfort in the coming weeks and years.
Fondly,
