Lee Family,
We were deeply sadden to hear of the loss of your wife and mother. She will be missed by so many because she was such a caring person. We know it's going to be hard but try to think of all the happy times and the smiles she bought to the many friends whose paths she crossed. Find comfort in knowing that she's in heaven, still spreading joy.
With deepest sympathy,
Samuel and Jewel Jackson
