An Ordinary But a Little Extraordinary Life: Lee's Story

Alzheimer’s is one of those terrible diseases that bit by bit takes the essence of a person away from them, their family and their friends. Along the way, everyone around a person with this affliction loses the memories of the time shared, the laughs, the tears, all that makes up a person. It’s cruel and it’s demanding. This is the story of Lee, a trombone playing, cheerleading, mother of four, grandmother to eight and great grandmother to one. She married her high school sweetheart, loved to jitter bug, built dollhouses and decorated every surface of her house for Christmas. She also had Alzheimer’s. Although this disease now holds her in its grasp, it cannot remove the funny, feisty, friend to so many and beloved by her family. Harkening the Erma Bombeck style of poking fun at life, this book chronicles the anecdotal stories of Lee. The moments of her life that make her extraordinary.
