Mable was and awesome and fun little lady.....my mom (Ethel DeLoach) and she shared a hospital room a lot of years ago. I always enjoyed seeing her at the senior center when she was having lunch with Lee....she will be missed.

| To Lee Graves: Lee, I'm so sorry to hear about Mable's passing. I have thought about you both often and wondered how you were doing. I'm glad you were able to have her home with you at the end. Mable was a dear, Christian lady. I remember her reading her Bible out loud as I cleaned the house. She was proud of you and her family and I know she loved the Lord. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Dot Webber |

Lee, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Mabel many years ago when she worked with me in the County Court. We also shared the same birthday and attended the same church for a few years. I'm glad you shared so many happy years together.
