Seb,
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Your mom was always nice to me and my mom when we lived over on Terrace. You guys are part of some very fond memories for me and a lot of the kids that lived around there back then. You and your family will be in our families prayers.

Dear Lee's family,
I was able to visit with Lee and her sister Wahneta on May 24
at Akron City Hospital.I heard about Lee's spirit and artistic
gifts. I wish I had been able to meet the rest of her family and friends,but you were with us on Lee's journey that day.
May you all be comforted by Christ's presence as you
grieve her loss.
Sincerely,

Leora & I were the best of friends after high school. We lost touch with each other due to unforeseen circumstances. I will always remember the good times in high school and going to the Kent bar's in the 70's.
