We first met Letha because her son John was our Realtor when we moved to Lawrence the same year Letha did, 2003. At the time we attended the same church, and for many years Letha and I were in the same book group. She was a delightful and intelligent woman whom I so enjoyed knowing. I miss her so much. I know you miss her so much more, even almost two years after her passing. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
