Westin Blake, husband of the late WWE wrestler Sara Lee, shared a tearful letter to him. Lee died earlier this month, and his family made a public announcement shortly after.
The cause of death of the “Tough Enough” winner was not revealed; however, at the time, the family said the unexpected development surprised them. They then asked people for some privacy to grieve.
Blake, who was born Cory James, shared an emotional post about his wife’s death in which he expressed his love for her and said she was the “backbone” of the family. She revealed that she’s not sure she’ll ever stop grieving completely, but she knows she’s in a better place.

Former WWE wrestler Blake took to Instagram earlier today to post a letter addressed to his late wife, Lee. In a tearful post, he called her “an angel walking this earth” and said he fell in love with her from the first moment. Blake described her as “beautiful, loving, strong, and very loving.”
The father of three continued, “An angel who blessed me with 3 of the most beautiful children I could ever imagine. But you are more than just a mother. You are my motivator, best friend, sister, daughter, aunt, backbone of our family, and (my favorite), my wife. I really don’t know what to say in this uncertain time.”
Blake added that despite the situation, death cannot take away the memories the couple made together over the years. “I can’t promise that I’ll stop grieving, but I know now that you’re free,” she concluded. “I can’t thank you enough for giving me the best years of my life so far.”
