Lee A. Walker Memorial Scholarship

06/17/2025

LAWMSF would like to extend its deepest condolences to the Paradee family. In a season such as this it is so important for community to rally around with love, and we know that the communities of Enosburg and Bakersfield will do just that.

View Cody Paradee's obituary, send flowers, find service dates, and sign the guestbook.

On this day that brought Lee Home 18 years ago, we are so blessed to be able to continue the scholarship for our EFHS students due to the faithful friends and family that have continued to pour into this endeavor. Your donation does not go unnoticed. It is special, it is important, and it is a tremendous blessing to each student that receives it big or small.

(This was set to be posted yesterday, but the day got away from me. 😁)

Today (July 8th) is a special day for our family, since it was the day that Lee was born. 💚 Lee would be 35 this year, but celebrated his 16th year in heaven this year. 🥰🥳

A few weeks ago we lost one of our incredibly supportive 5K participants and a neighbor to our family. Dave LaMonda (and his wife Joyce) was there for my brother and I, as many were, throughout all of the years that we facilitated the run. They both brought quiet joy everywhere they went.

As I watched Joyce (and her family's) tribute to Dave last week, I was struck with the beautiful love and happiness that their family had. In today's society, contentment and sacrificial love are often not pillars that are stood upon - but that was a clearly evident component of who they were. It was beautiful and tear inducing.

We all extend our love to Joyce and her family as they grieve the loss of Dave. He is, no doubt, in the presence of complete Peace, now.

Thank You for the input everyone! We are going to do a virtual run this year. I’ll put out more information about that in the coming weeks. The LAWMSF board and I will be discussing the feasibility of reactivating the in person run next year for the 2023 4th of July celebration. We hope that you have a fantastic summer and as always thank you for your love and support. ❤️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃

Who would be interested in participating in a 5K walk/run this year? I am considering getting it back up and running (this year if we have time, or next if not), but surveying my VT friends to see what interest is out there. :)

Happy Spring Everyone!
