  9. We were fortunate to have Laleen as our next door neighbor since they moved to League City. It has been wonderful knowing her and her love the garden and for the squirrels who she fed everyday. Rest in Peace Laleen and enjoy the fruits of your toil here on earth.
    Our deepest sympathies to Jerry, their children and grandchildren. May the good God help you deal with the loss of your dear wife, mother and grandmother.
    We will always be there for you.
