Marion:
It’s been a ton of years since we have seen you but my memories of you both from your visits to Janellen Drive are long and fond. I know how much my parents loved you both and I would be remiss if we didn’t share our acknowledgement of Lee’s passing and condolences on our behalf and theirs. We wish you strength and good memories and a long and happy life with your children and granchildren.

Dr. Eggnatz: I’ll always remember you friendship and kindness. Opening your house to a bunch of sweaty high schoolers provided many unforgettable memories. You’ll be missed.

My brother Robert told me about Lee, and I was so sad to hear about his death. Like my brother, I remember your visits to Janellen Drive and then, later, to Park Heights Avenue. My parents always looked forward to those visits and to hearing about your travels. Marion, please accept my condolences. I hope that the many happy memories you and Lee shared will comfort you in the days to come.
