With a tear streaming down his cheek, retired Master Sgt. Ronald Lee said he never expected to outlive any of his children. But he saw Audra buried April 21, 2009, at Fort Sam, Texas. Above, Anika Lee, Nathanial's aunt, takes a moment to collect herself before continuing to talk about losing her best friend ? older sister Audra ? and the void it has left in her life.
