Jim and I are deeply saddened by your loss. We remember when we were looking for a place to live in Ocala and stopped at your home to inquire about Cherrywood. You and Lee were so loving and made us feel right at home that we decided that we had to move here and you helped us make the right decision. We remember the bowling with you both and other activities and Lee will be sorely missed. May the Lord help you in the healing and make the loss of Lee a little easier in your life.
Love Jim and Joan Whidden
