Aunt Lee was always so special to me. She was so warm and inviting. Always smiling, something witty to say. I fell in love with her the day I met her. I am so thankful to have known her. Thinking of you all. Much love.

I just want to say how sorry we are to hear of Aunt Lee's passing, she was such a wonderful, kind person and had such an impact on people with her kindness and sense of humor. She wasn't even our "Aunt Lee", but a wonderful family acquaintance. She will be greatly missed.
