You were such a special person and i will always remember you in my mind and in my heart. I will never forget the beautiful letter you sent me when i was in Edgehill. I also remember a funny store you told me about something that happened when i was an infant just a few weeks old. I pray you are up in heaven with God and those you love who are already their. God surely has another Angel by his side. ❤

Lisa and family,
Lee was a remarkable woman. She began her mornings at Bally's with a smile and she always would share stories of her family with us. Lee was very proud of all of you! I'm happy to have had her as a friend.

Lisa and family,
I do not have the words to express how sorry I am to hear about your mom.
Lee and I were such great friends at Fram.
We were still close for a long time after.
So many many fond memories I will always treasure. Lee, may you finally be at peace. God Bless my friend.
