So very heart-warming to hear from others who worked with our mother, or have just known her for a very long time. She was just as compassionate and precious at home when God was her only audience...always praying for those around her, knitting for everyone, and helping out by listening, loving, and actively doing whatever she could. I'm thrilled for the peace I know she has found, but my heart aches for her

I was sorry to read that the wife of my cousin had passed away. I will always have fond memories of Lee as a young mother and wife. Lee was always so warm hearted and would welcome any of her relatives with open arms. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this most difficult time.

Lee will be severely missed by me. She was a good friend and "sister" to me. Always generous and loving. She was also a wonderful wife that cared for my brother. I pray they both finally have peace in Heaven.God bless them and their family.

Lee was a wonderful nurse. She was always up to the challenge of our busy work schedule, and did it with warmth and genuine caring. Her smile and positive spirit were felt by her patients and those working with her, including myself. I was saddened to hear of her passing, and send my love and prayers to the family.
