    I was sorry to hear about Lee’s death. Certainly she is in a better place. Ivan, Jennifer, Steven, Gaye and Jolene, I am keeping you and your families in my prayers. Lee was a great gal, and I am so privileged to have known and had her in my life as well. I remember Lee as always being happy, smiling, welcoming, and friendly to everyone and I always felt comfortable around her. She had a great laugh which was contagious too. You are all lucky to have had her in your lives and the lives of your families. Surely along with being a loving and proud wife and mother, she must have been a loving and proud grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt. She will be missed and yet remembered in many ways and by many. Sincerely, Carolyn Shaw-Cook
