To all of Ledlie's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren,
As one of Ledlie's brothers, there is one aspect of my relationship with her that is eternal. That is the world of art and music that we shared. I was awed by her ability to play the piano and she inspired my to express my talent as a musician.
When Kathy's son Jake died, I attended the funeral service and the family gathering in Missouri. Ledlie drew a sketch of me playing guitar from a photo that was taken at the time. That sketch became the art for my album cover.
I wrote a song for Ledlie when she turned 60. It lives for me as the fullest expression of my love for her. I am including it here.
I am saddened by her passing and I can only imagine the depth of your sorrow as one of her descendants.
My love goes out to all of you.
Uncle Jim
