  1. RIP. Aunt Lee, you will be missed. You were so full of life. You could always make me laugh. Give a big hug to my dad. Our thought and prayers are with the family Michael, Peter, Ann. Love you all. Mary, Julie, Shirley.

  2. I enjoyed spending time with Lee at family gatherings. I was always greeted with her warm smile that made me feel special. She had a wonderful sense of humor. She made me laugh. Such a beautiful person inside and out. She will truly be missed. Her warm smile will stay with me always knowing now she is with the love of her life.

  3. My favorite memories of Lee are the Friday nights she got together with my dad, Uncle Carlo, Vye, and Auntie Peggy on Ash St. My dad,(Mingo) was retired, mom was working at the Nursing Home, so Auntie Peggy would cook and then they would play cards. I doubt he got rich, Auntie Peggy was the luckiest person ever! RIP Lee, my condolences to the family.
