    Janet, Vicky and families. Please know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers. It is a hard journey to be without your Mother. I too am trying to cope with such a loss. Just to share a funny about Lee. Every time I saw Lee out with the Sunday ladies for lunch after church, she would remind me how funny my son (now 45 Yrs old) was when he came in to Dewey's dentist office. And she said they all would have to go in to hold him down until he was about 6. That was one memory she love to share. She was such a joy and always had such a pleasant smile. May God comfort you in the days ahead.
