The first time I met Aunt Letha was when she married my Uncle Ed. My mother was Mary Ann Dennis, Ed's sister. I always remembered Letha as a very classy lady. I'm sorry I didn't get out to visit her in a very long time, but I did talk to her on the phone about a year ago. She had a long happy life and even though we're sad that she's gone, she's at peace in heaven and that's a great comfort.
