22 Oct 2020Dear Tracy, Conni, and Duane,
My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your dear mother! I have so many fond memories of Sally from my childhood when we were all young in Wilmington, Delaware. She was a bright light in our lives and as our older cousin, we all looked up to her. She graciously invited me to stay an overnight with her at her college dorm and I was thrilled. I will look through my old photographs to see if I can find some of her to send you.
My thoughts and prayers are with you as you cope with your loss.
Your cousin,
Rev. Susan H. Lee, New Bedford MA

24 Oct 2020To all Sally’s children –
I extend my sympathy to you all over the loss of your mother. The four of us Lee girls were her first cousins and as my sister Susan said, we really admired her. When we visited Wilmington, we were a noisy bunch that would simply move into Aunt Betty and Uncle Harold’s home in Spring Valley for a time. Sally (and Jimmy too) were those cool older cousins we admired. We were staying there when I was 11 and I remember Sally getting ready for her upcoming wedding…to me it was a magical event. We actually left before the wedding itself, but your mom was the upbeat, live wire right in the middle of the action. I always thought of her that way. Your mother is remembered with fondness… warm regards to all of you as you mourn this loss
