Requiescat in pace: Gail Marie Lee [2nd UPDATE]

Pictured: Gail & Jude - 3 weeks ago today just hours after his birth.
Grandma Gail passed away around 12:40pm on Monday.

We live in hope and we believe that she was born into Eternal Life.

Survived by husband Carmen of 41 years, children John (Mary), Travis, Aaron (Amy), Cynthia (Mike), grandchildren Henry, Liam, Leo, Faustina, Audrey and Jude, mother Marian, brothers Allen (Debbie), Mark (Mary) and sister Debbie (Dale). Her father Charles Saunders preceded her in death. Gail grew up in North Dakota earning a Masters of Education from Minot College.
