Lee and I worked together at the Woodmere Elem School in the early "70's.Lee was my substitute and my friend. She was kind, caring and lots of fun!! I remember when I moved to my new apartment and said I needed drapes. She offered me gorgeous white silk drapes that for some reason she didn't want. I remember going to her house in Valley Stream and her son(Neil) figured out a way to tie the large curtain rods onto my car. I remember that I had to drive home to Manhattan on local streets because of the rods. I had the drapes for may years and they were beautiful. Since they were white and got dirty easily from soot, I kept cleaning them until they actually turned into shreds!!!

Many years passed with both of us teaching in different schools and finally retired, and then I met Lee about 3 years ago at a defensive driving class. She was so friendly after all the years. I'm glad that I got to see Lee again.

My sincere condolences to you.
