Mike, my name is Patty May and your mom and I graduated together in Lowell from high school  and remained friends. I stayed with her for three weeks in Maui and have stayed in tough forever. We even worked at same CPA firm once.  Ive had her on my mind a lot lately so did a search.  Im so sorry. Im happy she had you so close by. She was proud of you and your family. She will be missed!!!

My deepest sympathies to Lee's family and friends.I have so many fond memories of Lee over several decades of making her look her best! It was an honor to have her in my life and I will keep the memories of the times we shared close to my heart.

We both are thinking of the family and in our prayers at this time. 
Lucy had lots of good times with Lee and I remember  meeting Lee a couple of times when I was visiting out in Oregon.   I am the sister of Lucy’s.

I loved Aunt Lee and had some great memories with her. I used to go over to her house with my Mom and hangout with her, go to Shari's, and help her with anything technology related since I have a career in the IT field. She was always kind, caring, loving, and she will be sorely missed by many friends and family. She was the best Aunt a guy could ask for and always made everyone feel comfortable and loved. Her dog Tanner was cute and I'm glad I was around to help her out when she needed anything. She lived a long, healthy life and can ultimately rest in peace with her husband Tony.  Love you forever, Aunt Lee.  You brought joy to so many people during the darkest times and I hope you can take it easy now. ❤️❤️❤️

My deepest and sincere condolences to all the family and friends!  I have many memories of our childhood when us cousins got together on holidays especially  at Thanksgiving and Christmas and even 4th of July picnics.  I am especially fond of the time Leona and Tony invited us to join them at their condo in Hawaii.  I will cherish those memories always!!

I'm a first cousin of Leona and live in Minnesota (our moms sisters), so I haven't seen Leona in many years. I'm so sorry for your loss and trust each of you will lean hard on Jesus in this time of grief and sorrow! I do remember when Leona was a freshman in high school and lived with Grandma Morrison in Onamia where our family also lived at that time. Judy and I thought she was so fun, and I recall her liking to sing. She taught us a little ditty . . . "MI-crooked letter, crooked letter, I, crooked letter, crooked letter I, humpback, humpback I Mississippi, flowin' down to New Orleans." :) I'm sorry we lived so far apart! I know she had asthma back then and wonder if that contributed to her death. May God comfort you all! Love & sympathy, Jeannie Squires

I have many memories of you, but my favorite one was when you invited me to Thanksgiving dinner with Tony’s mother and brothers.  Best Thanksgiving ever!! Those Italians really know how to have a good time.  You’re with Tony, mom and dad, and brother Larry now.  What a celebration that must be.  Until we meet again sis! Love you always! ❤️
