Steve and I have sweet memories of your Mother and Father. May she RIP Steve and Carolyn Smith
LEE was a delightful person to know as a bank customer & friend. We exchanged “talk” & learned good stuff about each of us…I was planning a trip to several places in “her” part of Europe. She briefly told me of her home country, Austria…and of the huge Lipinzer (sp) horses bred & trained there. They were nearly extent before WW2 was over, but by heroic efforts , they were saved from being used for food by the Germans. It so happened my tour guide decided to take our bus to visit these exotic huge horses in Lee’s hometown. The long afternoon spent there was good for we travelers & exciting to Lee as I told her it was her story to me that I told our guide & his decision to stop in her home town. As a little gift I brought her a SHOT-GLASS with the town name, etc on it. (My husband & I also bought “a FORD” or two from their local business here. ) GOOD PEOPLE. R.I.P. Lee. RAYANNE CARLOCK
We are so grateful to the staff at Dove Estates for the excellent care they gave to Mom and for the many “memories” they created. Well done!
Carolyn, Sharon and Raymond ~I have so many fond memories of both your parents, Lee and Dave, when they lived in Colorado City, Texas. As long as they were here, we only bought vehicles from Hutchins Ford. I just learned yesterday that your precious mom had passed away. My prayers for peace and comfort to you all. Sharon Hammond
Lee was a sweet person …. I worked with them as assistant office manager for many years… can’t believe I’m just now hearing of Lee’s passing. ?? RIP Lee. She loved her family so much and often talked about wanting to see them more but work kept them apart….. they both were near and dear to my heart
