Goody and family I am so sorry about Lee's passing, it seems like I talked to her at Walmart a few weeks before this sudden death, she said she was holding up. I loved her vitality and she was always bubbly and loved her grandchildren so much. She will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to all of you

Goody, Craig, Sharon and families. I just learned of Lee Ann's passing. I cannot tell you how much she and your family meant to me while growing up. It was a wonderful haven to be able to go to during troubled times at home. I can remember playing bad mitton until it was too dark to see. I remember helping cook chocolate pudding for your desert, and the many meals I ate with you. I remember all that she did for my mom for years after my dad died. The world is a lesser place without her. May you all have wonderful memories to carry you through this sad time.
