Lee and I first met while working on our physical education teaching credential at San Francisco State University during the early 70's. Lee, Roberta Lighty and bonded and helped each other struggle through the curriculum. While Roberta was the dancer in the group, Lee and I were constantly reminded to "point our toes". We were hopeless! But, give Lee a tennis ball and look out! We shared hikes, dinners, stories about her joy in helping to raise Mary, but most of all, we shared laughter. Lee's laughter was infectious. Throughout the past 40 plus years there were many gaps in our communications as Lee raised a family and became famous within the dog training community. When we talked on the phone and/or saw each other, it was as if no time had passed. She gave me friendship; supported me; listened; cared and gave unconditional love. I will never forget Roberta, Lee, and I spending time together in Tahoe. We talked about the passing years and called ourselves the Golden Girls. Such a strong, vibrant spirit can never be dissolved. I will always hear her laughter and know that she is still with us.

Lee was a dear, sweet, kind, and loving person. She helped me through my late sister's final days and became a friend and sister through our mutual grief. My heart aches for Lee's family, especially her beloved Sue. My condolences and much love to all of you.
