I'm so sorry to hear of this loss. Lee and I haven't talked in a long time, but she used to be one of my closest friends. I pray for peace for Scott and the boys. Lee was a one of a kind woman. I'm so lucky to say I knew her.

Nancy, I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, what a shock and so little time to prepare. Although I've never been able to figure out what's worse having lots of time to prepare or no time. However take comfort in the wonderful memories of your sister and what a terrific person she was. Always loved her smile and sweet attitude knowing the heartache she endured at times during her life. She'll be greatly missed.
