I am so very sorry for the family, and community loss. Willa was a treasure. Her smile and fabulous attitude were always a delight to see. I thoroughly enjoyed the time I worked with Willa and wished she would return to our team, but I also knew she found a position that allowed her commitment to family to be fully met. So grateful for what was. Trusting sweet memories become a comfort as so many remember the great joy of walking for a time with this very special person. Blessings and light on our tender hearts ~

I was a co-worker of Willa's at Bio-Rad, over a decade ago. She was a hard worker with a deep love for her family. One of the main reasons she left Bio-Rad was to take a job that let her work mostly from home, to be there for her aging mother. But while she worked for Bio-Rad, Willa was responsible for the first and only perfect clinical trial we have ever had--submitted ahead of schedule, superbly presented, and accepted by the FDA with no questions or comments, achieving clearance in record time. She was also incredibly funny and just made coming into work every day a joy. She will be missed, and my heart breaks for her brothers to have experienced such a severe tragedy.

So sorry to learn of the Lee family's losses. I did not know Willa well, but we graduated in the same FHS class in 78. Her uncle Ron and I are friends. Sending my condolences and prayers. Pete Melin
