I had the pleasure to meet this wonderful lady in San Francisco circa 1975! She changed my life, open doors and always treated me with unconditional love. I will always cherish to times we spent together including the day in 1992, Mendocino! I am grateful to have had the opporutnity to meet family in California and Lawrence. I am sorry for your loss, but know that Lee will live in our hearts. Her legacy is the way she touched all of our lives. I will love you forever Leola!

I am truly sorry for your loss. "70 years is our life span...80 years with special mightiness." Leola had 96 years of "special mightiness." (Psalms 90:10) what a good long life she enjoyed! May your hearts be filled with beautiful memories of her long life as you celebrate a life well lived.
