Queenie was a name I've known my entire life. And though I did not spend as much time with Mryna and Lee in person as I'd have liked to, I have always felt like I have known them as if they are a part of the family. Queenie was always very kind and supportive to not only my father, but to me and my whole family, always supportive of my music, and just someone I always felt a great fondness towards. She will be missed. But I know she is in God's hands and that hopefully her best life is still to come. Lee, stay strong and put your faith in the lord, and I know we will all be ok and I hope and pray that one day we will all be reunited again in Heaven. Until then I will keep rocking and rolling, and so will you! With love from The Hill Family.

I was Lee’s devoted secretary/assistant for over 45 years and I got to know Myrna well through him. She was a kind, thoughtful, generous lady and one I enjoyed talking with. I knew how much she cherished her family and always made me feel like I was one of them. I pray Lee and family will be strong during this sad time. Myrna, my friend, rest in peace. You and your family will continue to be in my prayers. With much love.

Dear Abrams Family,
Our sincere condolences.
I worked with Myrna as her medical exercise therapist for many years. grew to love Myrna & Lee as family. To this day still stayed in touch when I retired to Florida.
Everything her niece & rabbi reflected of her were perfect & true. She was a beautiful person inside & out.
