Memoriam
Carrie Lee McNeil Vancouver, Canada
1961 - 2008
We began corresponding on publication of my first Patsy bio. Carrie Lee was the ultimate Patsy fan,
and special in many ways. In spite of many challenges, because of a lifetime of illnesses,
she was
a tireless promoter of country music and the legacy of Patsy
Cline.
No one could ask for a more valued
and true friend.
God bless her determination and spunk. ____________________________________________________________________
