She always call me Lee
took care of me when I was small. She was still in school and we all rode the same school bus. After she married Joel She had a house full of snot nosed kids and she loved every one of them. I remember her being a very kind person. There was never a stranger around when she was there. The world lost a special person but God gained shining soul.
