- Westin Blake (former WWE wrestler Wesley Blake) shared an emotional tribute to his late wife Sara Lee:
- Dear Sara,
- I loved you from the first moment I saw you. I would always say that you were an angel walking this earth. Beautiful, compassionate, strong and so loving. An angel who blessed me with 3 of the most beautiful children I can imagine. But you were so much more than just mom. You have been a motivator, best friend, sister, daughter, aunt, the backbone of our family and (my favorite) my wife. I really don’t know what to say in these uncertain times. All I know is that death can’t take away the memories we made. I can’t promise I’ll stop grieving, but I know now that you’re free. I can’t thank you enough for giving me the best years of my life so far.
- I LOVE YOU SARA
