While Lee’s husband said: “Dear Sara, I loved you from the first moment I saw you.
“I would always say that you were an angel walking on this earth. Beautiful, compassionate, strong and so loving.
“An angel that blessed me with 3 of the most beautiful children I could imagine.”
He went on to say that she would be remembered as ‘a motivator, a best friend, a sister, a daughter, an aunt, the backbone of our family, and (my favourite), my wife’.
Lee died in her San Antonio, Texas, home on October 5 of last year.
A spokesperson for the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office has since said that she died from suicide.
Medical examiners have determined that she had a mixture of amphetamines, doxylamine and alcohol in her system – which resulted in mixed drug toxicity.
Lee’s sister-in-law, Courtney White, has reflected on the star’s life following the medical examiners’ findings.
She tells NBC News: “Her death was a very short chapter in a very beautiful life. A chapter that needs no explanation or comments.
“Seven months ago today she left us and the details matter no more then than they do now.”
