I am so sorry that I just heard of Lee's death in 2021. My husband passed away 2 weeks ago from pancreatic cancer. I know how hard it is to fight that terrible disease and my heart goes out to her entire family: husband, children, grandchildren. May Lee rest in peace. She was such a kind and loving soul. She cut my hair for many many years. We loved chatting together and sharing stories and laughs together. I still live in Evergreen and have thought of Lee often. Wishing peace and love to all who knew Lee.

I am privileged to have known Lee while in Palm Creek; Casa Grande, AZ. Lee, Paul and Dusty were our first RV next-door neighbors. While our time together was relatively brief, I cherish the moments turned into memories... HUGZ Lee...
