My sympathy goes out to Lee LaBrash's family. My mom, Barbara Marsh and Lee LaBrash worked together on many day camp projects for Girl Scouts. Making day camp a lot of fun and good memories.

Oh Lee, how I will miss you. Our lives entwined through grade school (Brownies), high school, band, marching in the Portland Rose Parade & earning our Curved Bar in Girl Scouts. You introduced me to Jerry and you were in our wedding and it lasted 60 years. You were so thoughtful bringing me flowers, often out of your garden for all holidays. Class reunions will never be the same as you never threw anything away and all of the pictures you brought every five years will be missed. The memories of the Friday night dinners together with Myrt & Wes, Dearld & Roberta and George & Brenda. Our telephone calls and outings always ended with "I Love You´s". I will miss you so much, but I know we will meet again.
