We were so blessed to know sweet Grandmother Lee.  She embraced our family like we were one of her own.  It was very special to have time with her at the beach last October.  Aimee loved sharing her dolls with someone who really appreciated them!  Grandmother Lee was an angel on earth and we look forward to being together again in heaven.

Marlene,
I so sorry to hear about the loss of your mother.  You and your family are in my prayers.

Will always remember "our" talks on the balcony in Gulf Shores in 2007 and how she made me laugh.  Such a sweet, gentle woman, and blessed that I  got to be with her, if only for a short while.  Prayers and condolences to the McKinnon family.  I know you will miss her sweet smile.  Carol Humber (Birmingham, AL)

Grandmama lee I will miss you. You were so kind and had such a loving spirit. You were so precious to everyone. You showed many people what a life walking with the Lord was and how he blessed you throughout your life. I love you so much always and forever

I will miss you Grandma Lee.I will always remember your generous heart and your love for our Lord Jesus. You loved praising him through song and I am sure you are singing praises at his feet today. Love always

Dear McKinnon Family,

Our prayers, thoughts, and sympathy are with all of you on your loss.  I'm really glad I got to know Grandmamma Lee in only the few times I got to meet her - but always a happy time and I really enjoyed her piano playin and singin... and was a great time when I got to "jam" with you all - and always a great time when I do get chance to come visit with Lori and you all.   God Bless everyone and Grandmamma Lee.

Jim, Amy, Thomas, and Brett Sullivan

Grandmama Lee will be greatly missed. Her silly sense of humor and kindness will be remembered by all who knew her.

You will be missed. Your sweet spirit will forever be remembered. 
Love you,

God took one of his angels home last Friday and what a pleasure to have known her! She was the grandmother I never had and we will miss her tremendously, but we can look forward to seeing her in heaven.
