We were very fortunate and honored to know and love My Lee. For 10 years she was a part of our family and we all loved her so very much. She will be so missed. For us it was a privilege to be her mother-in-law and father-in-law. We know she is with God now and we will see her again.

I am so saddened to learn of the passing of probably one of the most beautiful,vibrant and caring human beings I have ever had the pleasure to know. The only consolation I have is that I know I will see My again because I know that she knew our Savior Jesus Christ and that she is safe with Him in Heaven. I pray God's comfort to the minds and hearts of My's family. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. God's Blessings and comfort to My's entire family.

My was a very special person, mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt, manager, friend & co-worker. She will be missed by many people and her being gone so suddenly creates much sadness for those left behind. She was so very proud of her two beautiful daughters & her step-son and spoke of them often. She liked to share funny stories and jokes to brighten everyone's day. She was always handing out her homebaked goodies and candy treats to everyone. She went out of her way to make us feel special, and I am forever grateful to her for that. My is now at peace in a better place with God. We will miss her.



Sincerely
