Another reunion was always just a little ways off - and now it won't happen. It is 2-and-a-half years since you and your childhood gaggle of friends shared a hot tub and laughed together. The suddeness of your death, Jlee, has left us bereft. James 'gang,' we got together from far flung places every few years for weddings and birthdays and other, we really weren't ready for funerals. We were housemates in her med school days in Winnipeg and along with fellow members of our St. She was funny and frank, hard-working and hard on herself, diligent and determined - How else do you make it through anaesthesia-training? - and always, always a steadfast and loyal friend. Jlee and I met in the halls of Bruce Junior High in grade 7, and that makes it pretty much a lifelong friendship. Posted by: John & Marcia Deyell (Colleague of Lew) on: Mar 22, 2012 Our deepest sympathy to the entire Lewis family. Sending my thoughts and prayers to Gail and Lew, and all of JLee's family as you gather today to celebrate her life, and say a painful good-bye. Posted by: Kathy McKelvie (nee Chappell) (school friend) on: Mar 28, 2012 I remember her as being super pretty and super smart, and really fun to be with! I am so sorry to hear of her passing, and my thoughts and prayers are with you her precious family. I think of JLee fondly as I recollect how kind she was to me from the time we met in Bruce Junior High. My sincerest condolences on the passing of your darling wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend. Posted by: Joan Steinwalt (Long Time Distant Friend) on: May 21, 2012 Sincerely, Joan, Glen, Jayden & Jlee Steinwalt My condolences to Joseph, their children, Mr.& Mrs. So it is with great sadness that I write this now but I will always keep my memories of Jlee close to my heart. She laughed and made the comment that she will constantly have to correct people who try spelling her name in a different way. Her response to that was 'How did you spell it?' I told her that we spelled it the same as hers.

I looked up to her and later when my husband and I had a daughter we named her Jlee.

I truly believe that Jlee was a genuine person who touched many lives in a positive way. We kept in touch, mostly through our annual Christmas letters. We became distant friends as I did not travel much in my younger days. Jlee and I became friends when she visted her grandparents motel in a small town in southern Manitoba. Today I was saddened to find out that my long time distant friend had passed away. Posted by: Diane Nickle (Allan) (Childhood friend) on: Oct 12, 2012

This sad news brought to mind many cherished childhood memories of walking to school together each morning, picnicking at Sturgeon Creek, and spending our church offerings at the donut shop after Sunday school. Lewis: I have just recently learned very sad news of Jlee's passing.Д®ven though I hadn't seen Jlee in many years, she has never been far from my thoughts.
