I met Lee Reeves while working for Mutual of New York. Lee left AXA Equitable in 2007 and walked from the George Washington Bridge in New York to Embarcadero Park in San Diego, CA with George Martin raising money for 911 first responders. When he arrived in Bruceton, Tennessee I met Lee there and he flew the kids in and proposed. We were married on June 22, 2008, on the USS Midway in San Diego, CA. We had a second service on August 16, 2008.

Lee has three children from his first marriage: Octavius Reeves, Jeffrey Reeves & Miranda Reeves. We now have a grandson, Myles Lee Reeves. Miranda gave birth to Myles on July 21, 2010.
