Lee and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Aletha's passing.
Heaven truly gained an angel.
The bible plainly states that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
I'm sure she has quite a bit of crowns to lay at Jesus's feet.
She was truly a blessed daycare teacher and she will be missed by all of us.
