MaryLee and family,

My condolences. In reflection, I recall the pleasure in meeting with your parents after MaryLee and I arrived in Kentucky two Novembers ago, when MaryLee moved from Washington. Your father was gracious, generous and more. I was thankful for the opportunity.

May the many fond memories you must have, support you in your grief.

Marylee:

As a coworker who admires you, I'm sure I stand with our other coworkers in sympathy. Though your dad lived a long and I'm sure, very wonderful life, losing a parent is always difficult. My thoughts and prayers are most certainly with you, Marylee.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the family I have been given. My Uncle Lee held a special place in my heart. He shared his farm with us when we were younger, and we shared plants when we got older. I always loved his poppies (Sorry, Uncle Lee, I never could get them to grow like yours no matter what I tried)and I always awaited my annual photo of the hibiscus that I gave him. I remind mine that they have to perform as well as his did! I've always enjoyed my garden, it gives me a place to reflect on life. I imagine I'll have a lot to reflect on this year. Love forever~
