I’m sorry to read about Lee’s passing. Lee was a big part of my life while working at Allentown Osteopathic. I picked her up each morning and we dropped my kids off at St Elizabeth school and off to work we went. Her family was the apple of her eye. How she would light up just mentioning your names. The day I visited her at Fellowship, she really wasn’t in the mood for company, but we talked and laughed and she quickly bounced back. we talked kids, grand kids, great grand kids! As well as sharing pics of my kids. I remember being at her house with her roller skating on the back porch. Such a fun, spunky woman who never gained a pound!! And could never sit still. I believe most of her family is out of town, but know that we share the same family cemetery and she is right beside my family. I’ll be sure to visit her. Sue Karoly Mertz
