With sincere sympathy to Mrs. Dorsey's family on the news of her passing -- her father and my grandfather attended West Point together. Her mother and my grandmother were longtime friends.
God bless!

God Speed Lee. I am an admirer of your dad the general. My dad enjoyed his company on a airline flight circa 1966.

Lee was one of the most wonderful friends my Grandmother, Mary Bright, had. Lee and my Grandmother attended seminary classes together and were long time leaders at All Saint's prayer group. I will always have warm, loving memories of Lee and her gracious, kind spirit. My deepest sympathy to your family.

Lee stood out as a gracious lady who never forgot to send a thank you note, even for the smallest favor. She lived a full life of gratitude for family, friends and church.

I was sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. You may not remember me but I was the girl next door who had a crush on you, Christie West. Your mother was always so kind to me. It was a real shock to read that your sister had passed also. I lost my son at 23 in 98. We, my husband and I, live on the Chesapeake Bay next door to my daughter and her husband.
Dad passed in 2002 and Mom passed in 2008. Again, I am sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss. I have such fond memories of her and always remember her soft voice. Thinking of you all.
Love, Mary Johnson Fletcher
