  1. Moorhead MN
    To Lee’s family,

    Lee was my special choir mate in the Grace United Methodist Chancel choir as we shared the music occasionally and sang next to each other for several years. We shared stories and enjoyed singing during the holiday Madrigal evenings. One of her favorite strategies was to turn the pages easily with the use of a “rubber thumb.”
    What a fine seamstress and hostess she was! I send prayers for comfort and peace in this time of sorrow.
