My beautiful sister Lee, you are now gone and I will miss our talks on the phone. My sister was one-of-a-kind, brilliant, original, and emotionally fearless, lived her life, bravely. She raised six of her own children plus on more and loved all of them the same. Her smiled lit up any room she walked into. I will never forget her laughter or the hug we has together. Until we meet again the heaven, I Love You. Your Brother George.

Though we didn’t have the chance to be close, you were always my sister. I’m holding space for you with kindness and wishing you peace. You will be remembered.

Mommy...I never gave up on you. I know you know that now. I love you and forever will miss you. Your at peace now and that gives me peace in my heart. You were ferice and so strong. You weren't scared of anything or anyone. You showed me how to work hard and clean like no other. I know at times you had a hard time showing us love but I know you loved us all. You loved my dad Darel with all of your heart and I know you finally found him again when you left this place. He was waiting for you...
