To the family of LeMae, I had the pleasure of serving with LeMae on the Literacy Council Board. She contributed a lot to the Council and was greatly missed when she could no longer attend the meetings. I had planned on attending the funeral today, but due to work and personal conflicts was unable to do so. Please accept my sincere sympathy in your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. Ella Cross 407 East 7th St. Superior, WI
