Sweet Christie Lee!!!! You will be missed by many. I hold great memories of going to your salon. Candy was my hairdresser, but we all have great times visiting with each other over the years. You were inspiring and showed me what faith, dedication, hard work and determination could build. Rest well and know that you were deeply loved. So many of us will always remember your name ensuring that you will live forever. Have a good journey and enjoy your new celestial home. Adios for now, Amiga <3
