My condolences to the family of leeann. I had the privilege of spending some time with this wonderful beautiful woman whom I loved deeply. We shared many precious memories. I also had the pleasure of knowing her son Tyrese whom I treated as my own for the time we were together. Love you Reese, your mom loved you dearly. God bless. It pains me something terrible to know you are gone. Last time Lee and I spoke we talked for nine hours on the telephone. That time was so precious to me as I did not know what the future would bring. Sleep well my Queen.

Sitting in a hotel lobby in Texss this morning I finally am in a place to view this. Tears flowing,  I want to call to hear your laugh or engage in one of our deep conversations.  My heart hurts and I need your encouragement this morning. It's still not real to me. I read and re-read so many of our text messages. I miss you sis. I can hear you telling,  Sis, I'm good! I pray you're prepared a wonderful meal for all the folks that left before you. I love you, always. Condolences and many prayers for your son and beautiful family whom you loved sooo much.  Love you!❤️🙏🏾

 

My dearest Shepherd. Took some time for me to accept your passing. I miss and will miss everything about you, our laughs, our cry’s and our deep conversations. I am blessed to have had your friendship for so many years. My sincere condolences to your family. May you rest in peace  my friend. Gone but you will never be forgotten. Love you sis💕💕

In the early 80’s Lee would play “Never Too Much” by Luther Vandross on a loop. For years up to now every time I hear this song I think of Lee with a smile on my face.  

My deepest sympathy to the Shepherd family may you rest in peace beautiful Lee 🙏🏻
