    Kenny: I was so sorry to learn of your mom's passing. What a great lady she was. I was glad I got to spend time with her while she was at Gracewoods Village with my mom. My mom was a cafeteria mother at St. Stephens and your mom was the best cook ever! What a treat it was to go through the hot lunch line and have both of them there. St. Stephen's was lucky to have them. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. You should have no regrets knowing you did everything for her. God Bless

I can't tell you the countless times she came into my thoughts or her name was mentioned in those timeless moments of "remember when" ... She was a great lady who always took the time to make me feel very special during my years at St. Stephen. My sincere condolences on your loss. Jan

    Greg, Karen, Linda, Joe, and Kailey and other family members: Lee was a wonderful woman with a sense of humor and so bright and fun! I remember her teaching Kailey math concepts the way she played with her before Kailey was even one! (And Kailey undestood too!) I loved seeing her at Christmas when she was well enough to attend. She was a light! We will miss her. Carolyn Coughlin & Kyle W.
