Gleason and Gary, I send my condolences to you today as you say "goodbye" to your sweet Mom. She was my last surviving Aunt. Although distance prevented me getting to see her much in the past years, I do have special memories of the times I did get to see her. I remember when I was a child visiting family in Alamogordo. Several of the cousins and maybe 3 adults took a trip into Juarez. Aunt Lallah Lee was one of the adults. That outing made a big impression on me. Then in more recent years when she came to Texas, I was blessed to get to visit with her. One of those visits was as big Birthday Party for her. May God be your comfort and strength as you remember your Dear Mom!!! Our Love, David & May Ellen

One word that describes Lallah Lee is love! She was patient,kind,selfless,caring,humble, and fun. Her laughter was contagious. One time we were rowing a boat on Lake Kapowsin looking for Mom and Glen. We kept rowing and waves were moving but we weren't moving. A fisherman looked over and said,"you're stuck on a log!" We laughed so hard we thought we'd fall in.she loved everyone! Her family and loved ones are the greatest! She will be missed but never forgotten! My prayer is "the Lord will give strength unto His people and bless His people with peace." Psalms 29:11

I have so many great memories of Lallah Lee. She was always welcoming to anyone & everyone. She worked so hard and loved to serve others. I never heard her complain and she always had the sweetest smile. We enjoyed visiting her in WA and the times she came down to TX. My kids really enjoyed spending time with her and playing games. I loved her laugh and I will never forget it. She had such a loving spirit and will remain a big part of my heart forever.

Such a wonderful, caring person. I'll always remember holidays in Graham with more family than I thought there was room for, but she always made room at her table and in her heart for all. She is a blessing to the whole family.

Such a wonderful soul the family and world has lost. Our sincere hope is you find great joy in the life she shared with you and the wonderful memories you will have forever. Parting is a mixture of both tears and a lump in the throat. Let it be overcome with the joy of her life. Sincere condolences Bill & Pat Miles.

Such sweet memories this picture brings... Thinking of her in the garden, sitting on her front porch, smiling at the boys and all their activity... Seeing pictures she had painted, stitching she had done, pictures she had colored... I am remembering the time she brought out her family photo albums and showed me the pictures. The members of the family that had gone on before she deeply missed. Lallah Lee, now it is our time to miss you.... Thinking and praying for all of you at this time...

To the Dale family. What a long life your Mother and Grandmother had. Some of my fondest memories include the Dale family. Early on it just wouldn't have been a rodeo with out at least five or six Dale's there. I am thinking of you. I'll never forget when I got bucked off old Dolly. Fred laughed so hard.♡

She was the last one of her generation. We will be at a great loss for they saw and knew a very different life from all of us. She was like a second mother to me. I will always be missing her , but remembering the special times that I had with her. She was more than an Aunt, she was my friend.
