Lee was a wonderful mother, wife, sister, aunt and friend to all. She was the most loving, caring and selfless person I ever knew. She took pride in everything she did, whether it be her many years in dentistry or getting dirty in the garden. She loved to take care of others . She loved her family and friends. She was an amazing photographer. She was a great cook and housekeeper. She was the best at every thing she did. She loved her animals. The cats, dogs and chickens were all her babies. She loved to fish and usually caught more than me. She was a hard worker. Lee was a Godly and righteous person. We can’t grasp how this could happen to such an amazing person but I know in my heart there is forgiveness and comfort for her and she is finally at peace. She will be missed by all that cared to know her. Lee was my wife and my best friend and I am grateful for the short time I had with her.

Your Loving Husband,
Brian Killion
