    I was so sorry to hear about Lee. I always enjoyed visiting with her at my mother’s when I came home. She was a very sweet and special lady.

    Bob and Pat,
    Been awhile, but I want you both to know that I still think about and cherish my time in Wamego. I am sorry to hear about your loss and my thoughts will be with you and your family. I hope you are all doing well and please tell the kids hello! I’m sure they would not recognize “Baby Brett” now, or Mckinna for that matter. Take care!
