I have fond memories of cousin Eddie Lee from my childhood – visiting him at Sapp’s Market and seeing his artwork in Grandma Rose’s home. He was admired for his culinary skills, music and love of animals. Although there was distance and time between us, I’ve never forgotten his kindness. Memories of him will live on in his loved ones. May he rest in peace.
