I am a mother of two and can say for sure that the best day of her life was as a new mom. That sheer joy she felt - if only for a day - at least she got to feel it. And I hope that final feeling is what she took with her, to the other side. I can't imagine the family's grief. The husband lost the love of his life, at a time he needed her most. Parenthood is scary for both the new mom and the new dad - having a partner is reassuring because neither one knows what to do, but you figure it out together. If this father ever feels like his wife could have done it better, he should know that he is only making her proud. What an undertaking to raise two newborns without having time to be selfish and grieve. If this father feels guilty for feeling joy about being a dad - he shouldn't. Being a dad is the greatest gift and best thing in the world (like being a mom). His joy is well deserved. His grief is too. I hope he allows himself to feel both and heal while at the same time enjoying the babies and being there for them. I hope the community is supporting you and sure that love is pouring into your home from every corner of the world. Sending positive vibes and love.

I met you briefly that day. We talked, walked, and you spoke about your babies. Before I left that day, I had to go back and check on you. I found you as I left you, smiling.. I didnt tell you this then, but I will now..When I first met you, I thought to myself. "What a pure angel like woman" I didnt know how right I was. Sleep well Lee..

My deepest sympathies.. Such a devastating story.

I did not know LeeAnn or know her family....but my heart goes out to her baby sons who will never know their Mom and to her husband and her family. This world has lost an angel, but Heaven has gained a very special one who will watch over her family always and she will always be with you, so cherish her memory always. God does take only the best...God bless LeeAnn and all of her family.....Mary V., Melrose, MA.

Oh I am so heartbroken for you Mr. Mannillo. Your wife's sacrifice is the ultimate one. Though I don't know you, I cried for you today.

I grieve for you -- I spent many days in that NICU with some of the the most caring people. So sorry that Mrs. Mannillo must watch from heaven. God bless your children and your entire family.

There are no words that express my true feeling of loss. Having worked with Lee over the years was truly my pleasure. Having known Lee through the years gives me comfort and a sense of privilege that I will hold on to for the rest of my life. Rest in peace Lee. May your eternal light shine upon me.

Rich,
We are thinking of you and your family in what must be the toughest time of your life! It was just a few weeks ago when we all were together and Lee Ann was so happy. We are so sorry for your loss and send our condolences. Sincerely.

I only met Lee once, but she was impressive: very smart, beautiful, and vibrant. I am so sorry for her wonderful family, and especially my good friend, Paula McConnell of Bourne.
