To Lee's family,

I was so sorry to hear about Lee's passing. Before she left us, she sent me a beautiful letter talking about all the good times we had. I was lucky to talk to her one more time. She was a good friend and a wonderful person, who I feel so grateful to have known. Will see you all at her memorial. Love to you, Lucy and John Martin and family.
