So sorry to hear about the passing of your 52 year partner and wife. We have many memories of you two at our Good Sam outings.
We are so sorry for your loss. Lee was a special friend to all of us in the Tsunami Sams and we will always remember good times that we had together camping.
Dick, my wife and I are very sadden to hear of your loss. I do have great memories of Lee in the past years of the firemans ball and the Christmas parties. Lee loved to dance and she would always track me down and ask me to dance. She alway told me that I was her FD dance partner, she loved the swing dance. She was very funny and had a good heart. I’m so sorry to hear of the (cancer word) in her last days but I’m sure she was a fighter and lived her life to the fullest.
The members of the Fort Dick Fire Protection District wish to express their condolence for your recent loss of Lee.
Sorry to hear of your loss, Lee will be remember in our memories.
