Your Mom, was a wonderful person and eventhough I know she wasn’t the oldest or youngest sister or brother, from your families postings I have read, it seems like she was the one who kept the family grounded and as we say in the military ” The Go to Person”. Cheerish and remember all the good times.

To the Lee family,
It’s so difficult to find the right words to say. Paula and I just developed a friendship and love for each other over the last couple of years. We had a running joke that when I get married she would be invited but I was going to give her the wrong date so she wouldn’t show up and look better than me on my wedding day. Everytime I pass the boutique here in ATL called Allure I will think about her; I would send her pictures of suits and hats she would like. She will be greatly missed. My prayers are with you…just keep the beautiful memories of her alive don’t ever let them die. When it’s all over all we have are our memories. I’m so glad that we had a chance to fellowship together this past year at each of our granddaughters graduations…we laughed and cried together.
Love you…wish I could be there.
Alma Terrell
