Dear Gene and family,
I was so saddened to hear about Lee. Seems like yesterday we were working at Ruston City Hall together and you and she were just beginning to find each other. I can just hear her special laugh right now. To her children, please know that all the time I knew her, you kiddos were what she was living for and she loved you very much. It will be hard to get through these next days but you will. Just keep the good memories close to your heart.
Love to all,
Angie

Gene:
Please accept Joni and I's deepest sympathy after hearing of Lee's passing. Lee was a treasure not only to her family but, to all of her family at Valley as well. It was a pleasure to have gotten to know her. We pray that our Lord and Saviour will comfort you and your family at this time and give you strength in the days ahead.
