Billie Jean and family,

Your mother was always such a sweet lady. I remember her fondly as we were all growing up out in the Krooked Kreek area. And, after I moved back home to Harrison, it was always a pleasure to see her around town from time to time and be able to chat a little bit with her.

I know how difficult it is to lose our parents, but we can rejoice in the knowledge that we will see them again one day.

Much love, and God Bless you all.

One of most remarkable ladies I had the privilege growing up knowing. I loved spending time at her home as a youngster. She will truly be missed by our community. Love you Ms. Ora Lee! May God give comfort to the ones left behind. It never is easy for us but to know that she is rejoicing in Heaven is our reward and to know that she is reunited with her family and friends who have passed on before.
