    I had the great fortune to share a wonderful dinner and celebration with Laura Lee when Ben received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the California CPA Society - she was clearly a lady of grace and love. She beamed with pride as her son spoke during the award ceremony. Her legacy continues with and through Ben and all that he has created, crafted, invited to share his love love of life and through her love of family I am certain that she is in a wonderful place in heaven and smiling upon all of us. My prayers and thoughts remain.

    My Dearest Miss Mimi I thank God for the circumstances that brought us together. Thank you for the gift of friendship: for your knowledge that comforted me, for your words that encouraged me for your insight for all your experiences you shared with me for the sweet bliss of deeply knowing me. For conversation and laughter as well as tears. Your wonderful gift of music you shared with me. I will miss our Mondays together. My birthday notes Johns' special cards of encouragement and gifts that said you cared. I will miss you Dear Friend. I Love You, Miss Mary
