We worked with Miss Lee for a short time she left a lasting imprint on our hearts. She will be missed so very much. She was full of life and we enjoyed her visits to Latsch’s. She loved to tell us about her kids and Grandkids. She was one of a kind and loved by us. Goodbye my friend. May you have peace at last.
Lee was a caregiver for us at Guardian Angels and I got to be very close to Miss Lee. When she called me to say she was taking sometime off for surgery I was counting the days until she would be back. I am so sad to see that she is gone. Rest well my friend. You are missed so much!
