Love, The Pryor Family Venissa, Sean, Kasean, Gianna and Olivia
Sending my prayers and condolences to her family, friends, and loved ones.
To: Charles, Mary, Grace, Fred & the Quinn-Lee Family: It is very difficult for Me to express My feelings. I will always remember Your Mom, Mrs. Zeder Quinn-Lee. Anytime I called Her, We laughed & talked a long time. When I thought the conversations had ended, She would think of another subject to discuss. She watched Me grow from a child to becoming an adult; shared Her knowledge, was full of wisdom, & advised Me when needed. One statement Your Mom made to Me years ago, " I never worried about You & Natalie when You'll moved away, I knew You would make it." I appreciate Her sharing those words with Me; they spoke volume. I Thank Mrs. Zeder/Quinn Lee for being the Educator of the Neighborhood, a Woman of God, & a Mother of Mt. Olive Church. May God Bless You'll with the comfort & strength to endure this most difficult time. Love You Always, Felicia Frost
My condolences to the family,May God comfort and strengthen all you
To the family of Zeder Quinn Lee, I was blessed that our paths crossed so many years ago through her son Fred Quinn. My whole family loved her so much and I was thankful that she let us call her grandma! She was my moms church pew and phone buddy. She would always end our conversations by saying I'll be praying for you. So rest on grandma and love you! The James Family (Marilyn, Sarah, Chrissy, Emmy and Joey) ❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
