To the family of Lee Dawes I would like to offer my condolence and to let you know that I will be lifting all of you up in prayer. Lee was a great lady.
Lee was a beautiful & gracious lady who became family for myself & my son Jonathan…she inspired all who knew her with her spirit & love for mankind & animals alike…I have no doubt that Lee was welcomed into Heaven with open arms…The world has lost a shining example of how one should live their life…Shine On Miss Lee…
Lee and Marge worked together at Consumer Credit Counseling Service. Lee was instrumental in Lad and Marge meeting each other and then marrying over 27 years ago. Lee was a great boss and good friend. Our condolences to the family.
I needed Lee back in 1979 and I wanted her in 1998. I’ll explain. I had a problem with fiances in 1979 and needed her help and she was so helpful. Couldn’t have gotten along without her. Many times we would go out for lunch and then I moved away. I came back single in 1985 and often would have lunch with her and in 1999 she became my best friend. We had a trip planed for the Bahamas and a hurricane came. I was with her when she picked up one of her new Subarus and she had me drive it off the lot. I called her every once in a while. I will miss her a lot. Jim Craig My condolences the the family.
I am so sorry to hear of Lee’s passing. My love goes out to her family in this loss. Lee was the dearest,most giving and devoted friend anyone could hope to have. It has been my loss that we lost touch in the last few years.
