Mom, we wish you luck on this latest journey.
We want to send you our deepest sympathy of the loss of Lee she was a special lady always friendly and out going i am sure she will be missed
I will always remember Lee as a person who laughed a lot and she cared a lot about people. I swear she knew somebody that would fit EVERY situation or topic that was brought up in conversation. She loved her family very much and I and my sister, Janice, were happy to be included in her ‘second family.’
She loved to do things and would not let her health keep her from doing what she liked. My sister, Janice, and I went out a lot of times with her for dinner and most of the times the Muckleshoot casino, too. Last time we went was two and half weeks ago when she said that might be her last time but she did not let that stop her from enjoying herself. Lee will truly be missed!!!!!
Leat you will dearly be missed at the RRCHC heritage meetings. Your input into a number of issues was helpful to all the members. I only got to know you a short time and you will be truly missed. God Bless You
