My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Lee's Family. She was our neighbor at Tybee for two weeks for many years when we rented the beach cottage next door to her. We always enjoyed her brightly colored flowers growing around her porch and appreciated her friendly greetings. She always looked forward to the evenings that our family churned Homemade ice cream and shared a generous serving with her. Her caring nature and cheerful spirit will truly be missed by all who knew her. Sincerely, Claudia Christiansen

I knew her only a few too short years. She was a delight to talk with and always young at heart. I will not forget her.
