David Wolfe wrote a sympathy message

“We are so sorry to learn of the passing of our cousin Lea Mae. We came to know her and her husband during our trip to our Kohler family roots in Malmsheim, Wurttemberg, Germany. They were a joy to travel with and continue our friendship through attending the Kohler Family Reunions in September at Harrisonville, MO. A descentant of Johanna (Hannah) Kohler it was good to renew our connections to Kohler Kansas Kin. Leah Mae will be missed. - David Wolfe”
