Bud and family, We are very saddened to hear of Lee's passing. Her obituary describes her perfectly. She was a radiant light that shined in everything she did and in everyone she saw. Her smile will never be forgotten. May God's peace and love be with you in the days to come.

Dear Mr. Kamnikar and family members, I am so very sorry about your loss. It is also my loss and our community's loss. Lee was surely one of the nicest, sweetest people that I have known. It was my blessing to have spent time with her as a patron of the South Haven Memorial Library and as a fellow member of the South Haven Branch of the AAUW. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time.

Bud, Karen and Family. Words alone can never express true feelings when someone so dear passes. Lee's obituary captured her loving spirit. We were all privileged to have known her. Our Condolences, Bill and Donna

It is with great sadness we express our condolences to Bud, Karen and the family. Lee was a wonderful person and great friend to our Family especially my mother Jane, who will miss her dearly. We had many fond wonderful memories and great times with Lee and your family starting with sharing a boat slip in South Haven Municipal marina many years ago. Our condolences, the copping family.

To Bud and family, Lee was such a wonderful and generous lady and it was a pleasure to teach with her at Kalamazoo Adult Education. She was always so kind to the staff and students. I have great memories of those years that she and I shared a classroom together. I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Bud and Karen and family, I was so shocked to hear of Lee's passing. She was such a strong lady, I prayed that she could beat this. We were sisters together in Sigma Kappa, and worked together every year to help abused women. She was energized by her wish to help others. She would tell of your adventures together on the boat, and about her hours together with her precious grandchildren. God has gained a new angel. You are in my prayers Hugs, Sue

Bud and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Lee and I were very close when we were growing up. We seem to have lost touch with one another over the years, but I have many fond memories of my cousin and the times we shared.
