Lee, I can't begin to tell you how I feel for you. Wendy was just a spectacular person and I know how blessed you were to be her companion. The only way to take the sorrow out of death is to remove the love from life. Your sorrow is because she truly loved. My prayers are with you and your family in this time of loss.

To my beloved little sister and her family -- I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't love you -- when you were born -- the in-between years -- and now.

Your sister, who always loved you more than you imagined.
