My heart is so full of love for a great Aunt and woman. My Aunt Lean was an awesome mother and grandmother sister and friend. i can remember when I was a child my mom and family would visit with her and we would have the best time at her house in The St Thomas. I never felt like she favored one neice over the other. She loved us all and treated us with so much respect and was always willing and ready to tell us when we were doing something that we shouldn't be doing. We could bring our friends and kids around her and she would welcome us all with open arms. I can go on and on. Her kids My aunt Debbie and Auntie Georgia, Kevin. Tom, Harry, Jerry, Melba Therl, and anyone I missed yall know i love you all and will forever keep her in my heart. Happy Birthday My dearest Aunt Lean
