I remember what a wonderful person Aunt Lee was for us.  She was the person who let me take Erik and Linda for a walk in the park near our home on 67th in Portland, to “show them off” because they were so darn cute.  All the neighborhood kids would ooh and aaah over them!  She was the maker of the best buttered popcorn in the whole world, the best salads,  pea and potato and rice a roni…
Who gave us cups of juice in big colorful aluminum cups.  She enjoyed playing games of croquet on her big lawn.  Aunt Lee had a contagious laugh and a huge heart.  I will miss her muddy buddies and her sense of humor.  She was an amazing lady and the world will be  less without her in it.

Lee was such an inspiration to me when I came to Riverside as a young teacher. Her encouragement and kindness made me feel welcome to the new school environment.

Lee was hilarious. Her sense of humor was quick but subtle. Sharing a wink and a chuckle surrounded by 1st and 2nd graders (who adored her) made my day!

Rest in peace, Lee!

Lee was a gift to the children and staff at Riverside Elementary. Such a kind, caring, patient soul . . . a bright spot for many!

I had the delightful opportunity to finally meet Aletha after years of seeing her flit pass Erik’s web cam as he and I had our regular Monday night chats. I remember pretending to cover my eyes so I didn’t see her hair; I would hear her say to Erik about it being a mess! Then in more recent times, watching her at one side of the computer screen cutting up coupons, quite loudly actually, as she was so close to Erik’s device.
When I visited Erik, Aletha was very kind to me, and we enjoyed some chuckles, and she a glass of red wine when I offered her some, which she drank with ice cubes in! So an absolute first for me to see.
I believe that wherever we go to when we say farewell to this world, Aletha will be at peace and be very proud to have raised a wonderful son and daughter who cared for so her very much and made her final years pass with dignity and love. Rest in peace, mum.
