Bev & Lee were inseparable and spent their retired years teaching Logo programming to kids, traveling the country on bus tours, becoming master gardeners, learning and perfecting their ballroom dance moves and researching genealogy on both sides of their families.

My heart goes out to the families.
Our hearts are heavy today at The Center in Council Bluffs, where Lee & Bev attended for many years. Their smile could light up a room! Lee would come in an visit and exercise and always had a story. He will be missed. I know Bev & Lee are dancing in heaven together.
