So nice to see that cousin Lee (Frank, JR) is remembered by family and friends. I so well enjoyed visiting Lee and his family in New Salem, PA. It would usually be July. My memories that he was such a handsome boy at the time!! We girl cousins would run off and "play" while Lee tended to stay with the adults! And making our visit a special one as Lee's mother Dorothy Cropp was such a wonderful cook. I so loved that older New Salem house. Frank Cropp SR remodelinging the entire house. I was s excited when cousin Dorothy said I could stay some time with them as I wanted to babysit the younger brother Jim Cropp. Very much also missing Lee's sister Rebecca. God, do I miss her so. May the Lord continue to keep Lee in his warm and loving arms. Always, Diane and Stanley
