Lee has been an inspiration to me for many years but especially as she battled the cancer. Her faith never waivered as she said "I am ready for the Lord to take me whenever He is ready for me" and I was deeply touched by that. Her smile never faded and will be a cherished memory for me. Our hearts are with you, Al, Sandi and family as you loved, encouraged and supported her during these difficult months. Lee completed her race with dignity and grace and she will be missed. May God fill you with His presence and peace at this time.
