AEW / Other Wrestling
- Westin Blake (former WWE wrestler Wesley Blake) shared a moving tribute to his late wife Sara Lee:
- Dear Sarah,
- I loved you from the first moment I saw you. I would always say 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 could imagine. But you were so much more than just a mom. You were a motivator, a best friend, a sister, a daughter, an aunt, the backbone of our family and (my favorite), my wife. I really don’t know what to say in these uncertain times. I just know death can’t take away the memories we’ve made. I can’t promise I’ll stop crying but now I know you’re free. I can’t thank you enough for giving me the best years of my life so far.
- I LOVE YOU SARA
