Over the past years I have had the opportunity to work with Lee on many occasions. I have always found her to be professional, compassionate, and very attentive to the needs and wishes of the grieving family. She takes time to sit down with the family to get to know them and their loved one. No two services are exactly the same. Each is personalized to fit exactly what each family wants. Through unfortunate circumstances in both her family and my own, I have come to know Lee personally. I have come to know that she is real. Her compassion for my family was truly genuine as was the compassion she has shown to all the grieving families she has served. Lee was truly called to serve people in their times of need. I would absolutely tell you that all of the families that she has helped through my funeral home have been beyond just satisfied. They all spoke of what a wonderful funeral service Lee did for their loved one and how compassionate and caring she was. The honest words of the families she has served speak very loudly.
At a time when I was without a church and my Mom was in hospice care because she was close to passing, Rev. Lee was a gift of loving kindness and support that knew no bounds. She sat with my Mom and me, getting to know each of us, holding our hands, giving us hugs. One day, she brought in a hymn that captured the essence of my mother’s love for gardening and creation. In the Bulb, There is a Flower would be a hymn that was played at my Mom’s memorial service just weeks later. I asked Rev. Lee to preside over that service because I felt her love, warmth and spirit of compassion for both of us. Lee met with me twice to help create the kind of service I had in mind for my Mom, and I felt an inner joy with the outcome, knowing that the feeling of the service would be just right … and it was. These milestones in life are some of the most important ones we’ll ever face. I thank God for Rev. Lee, knowing that our paths crossed when I most needed it and for continuing to be a blessed presence in my life.
Honoring Mom – My mother passed away after a brief and difficult illness. I met with Lee who listened to the memories and the stories of her life carefully and compassionately, and who with a gentle heart and spirit supported me as well. Days later at my mother’s memorial service, Lee told all the stories and memories, even using Mom’s little catch-phrases in a service that was profoundly comforting, healing and personal for everyone present. Lee’s words and her pastoral presence celebrated Mom’s life while also comforting us in our grief.
My life coaching experience with Lee was a move-forward, direct, compassionate approach.
Lee has the ability to see the big picture and work with her client to meet any of their needs. Examples include the way she supported me to live a healthier lifestyle which I still follow to this day. It balanced me and made me feel physically and mentally better. She also coached me to see outside the box of a significant challenge, change my perspective and overall make positive changes that worked for me. Her intuition served me very effectively as well.
I would recommend Lee as a life coach as she listens, understands, and is non-judgmental. She communicates effectively, works with your own style, and goes as far as you are willing to make changes within yourself. She is always available, if not by phone, then just an email away. She genuinely cares and has a passion for her work which shines through when she is working with you.
I was asked to join a women’s retreat led by Lee. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect and had no real expectations but gladly and openly said yes. I am so glad I did as it was a very fulfilling experience. I felt that this might be a great time of centering and focusing for me after losing my daughter, and it was. I am so incredibly glad I went. Lee led a wonderful retreat with time for reflection (including forgiveness), group chats, deep conversations, music, prayer, and communion – all with a warm, loving compassion for. She asked if I would like to join her for other retreats and I said “absolutely.” Lee is an amazing spiritual leader.
