A mentor, loving wife, beloved friend and dear family member. Her warmth and sincerity brought sunshine to everyone around her. She will be deeply missed by the many lives she touched. Her influence and light will go on forever."

Lee's friend and fellow musician Jae Chong wrote on Instagram, "I remember when she told me about her illness few months ago I sat in my car crying nonstop. She was suffering from so many different things including secretly battling cancer. She was a true fighter. She didn't want her fans and family to worry. I pray that she is in heaven where there is no more pain."

According to Lee's obituary, funeral details are set to be announced at a later date.
