I'm so sorry to hear Aunt Leatrice passed. My sympathy and love goes out to you and your family at this time. My mom and I were so fond of Aunt Leatrice. She always put a smile on our faces when we saw or spoke to her. She will always be a beautiful woman and spirit. Much love to you at this time of sorrow. I can only hope that my mom welcomed her with open arms and will be with her forever. God Bless and take care. Love, Shannon
Ms Sue, Lisa & Jenn, I am sorry for your loss and will pray for your family and Ms. Leatrice.
God Bless, Patti and boys, Roy & Rene.
Barbara,
My deepest sympathies to you and the family during this time. I know your mother will be greatly missed to many. I remember the stories you shared with us at the office and I know you were extremely close to your mother. Miss you dearly, Stacie
First, to Susan, Barbara and Lisa, I am so sorry for your loss. I learned first hand what a wonderful and kind person your mother is. (Sorry cannot use past tense) As you know I was fortunate to have worked with her for several years at the court. Believe me we had wonderful times on our many adventures during travel,and also while performing our daily duties at USDC.
Because Lee was so loving and caring, she often gave me a ride home. During these times we often stop stopped at your grandmother's house. There I was always welcomed as a long time friend and usually left with something to eat. Regretfully, I am in Houston until Sunday and will miss the services.
Please give my best to your entire family.
Denny

May god keep you close in times like this,family is a blessing,lets love one another as god loves us,take care. always Marie Hunter Daunoy
Susan, I have many fond memories of your family when we were growing up, especially the talent shows & swimming pool. I had many conversations with your mother for insurance purposes. I have often wondered about her since I am no longer with Chris Caramonta. My deepest sympathy goes out to the family.
Sorry we won't be able to attend the services. We will be out of town the day of the service. We have great memories of the few times we were at her house for the hospitality she showed us and the kids enjoyed to pool so much. She will be sadly missed. Our love and prays goes to the entire family. Love Chuck & Debbie
