We are very saddened by Letha's passing. My mother, Carmen, was Letha's neighbor the last couple of years and they had become very good friends. Letha was a very sweet lady and we will all miss her. You and yours are in our prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. Your mom was like a second grandma to my kids.She always welcomed me like a daughter. The first holiday I spent w/no kids after my divorce meant so much to me to be including in your families Thanksgiving. She was a very special and kind woman and I you can take great pride and comfort in knowing that she was your mom.
Love you guys!

Letha and I lived together at St. Monica's and became very good friends. She was my bridesmaid at my wedding. What a wonderful and sweet natured person. We were shocked when we saw her obit in the paper Sunday. Our sincere condolences go out to her family. She will be missed by us and I will always remember her. May our Lord comfort you and yours.
