Lee,
One of my VERY BEST buddy's. You said you were leaving us all, but we never knew just when God would call you home.
It makes my heart smile knowing you are out of pain and free of needles and hospitals. None the less, physically I miss hearing your voice and seeing your warm smile.
Thanks for the years we were able to spend together and all the laughs we shared.
My Dear friend, YOU are MY HERO!!!
I look forward to the day we can be together again...
Lee,
I'm glad I got the opportunity to meet you while you were here. I'm sure one day we'll meet again.
My prayers and sympathies to those who love her and knew her well.
To your partner Tonya,
May time heal your broken heart, rest assured Lee will always be with you. Please know that Jackie and I are always here for you.
Love Always, Jackie & Sherry'
