This graceful, beautiful and elegant lady impacted my life greatly. I am truly blessed to have had such a wonderful influence on my life as a child. She spent countless hours keeping the neighborhood kids entertained; playing Mother May I, Simon Says, etc. When we misbehaved, she corrected us gently and compassionately. One time, Danny, Sonja and I decided that if we jumped high enough off the back porch and flapped our arms really fast, we could fly. She was worried that we would get hurt. She came to us and sweetly explained that God didn't make us to fly and that we should stop jumping off the back porch before we hurt ourselves. I always felt welcomed in her home. She made us Kool-Aid popsicles in the hot summer months and even though her home was always spotless, she never minded the kids coming in and out. When she made spaghetti for dinner, the kids always wanted a pre-cooked noodle (for some reason) and she gladly gave us one. Her divinity candy was absolutely wonderful. When she made it, she always shared with our family and said to tell Ricky (my mentally disabled brother) that she made it for him. Unfortunately, she and my mother became sick around the same time and could no longer get out and about. Mrs. Lee worked puzzles to help pass the time. She always had Mr. Lee to bring puzzles to my mother. Both of them were on oxygen. They would stand at their front doors and wave to each other. When Mr. Lee went to the store, she always made sure that he checked with my mother to see if she needed anything. Mrs. Lee was a thoughtful and caring human being, even up until the time that God called her home. She was a precious soul who was devoted to her family. All of the neighborhood kids are now in our 40's-50's. We are better people for having known her. I'll see you again one day, Mrs. Lee. I love you!
