On behalf of the family of Lee Fontana Bobrow, we would like to thank all those who were so kind and caring for her all these years and for those who attended to her for her services. She has been “Lonesome Lee” for a long time and now she can now be with her beloved family and enjoy being with them. I would like to particularly note how much I appreciate her son-in-law Neil Bobrow for all he has done for Lee over the years. His attention to her life and now death are remarkable. From all of us, Dear Lee, we will miss you, but your happiness is what we all really want.
Lee: Thanks for being such a special person in our life.

Dear Neil and Holly, I am greatly saddened by Lee’s passing. We became friends when she and Hy arrived in Davie. In all our travels over the years we have maintained in contact and hoped that we would get to see each other again, but God works in His own time, so we shall meet again in heaven. She spoke of you often with love and appreciation, your help and concern for her was a great kindness. I will miss my phone chats with her. I know she is in a better place, her faith was important to her and our God can now give her all the happiness she deserves. May her soul rest in peace.
