Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this very difficult time. Mrs. Lipe was a sweet lady and great neighbor for many years she will be missed by so many. I remember how much she loved gardening and roses about 20 years ago she got clippings from my rose bushes, she always had a gift for growing things. God Bless you all. Keith and Brenda Cauthren
