CNN anchor Don Lemon conducted a heart wrenching segment informing his viewers about the recent death of his sister and “partner in crime,” Leisa.

Lemon tearfully thanked those who stood by his side during his loss, including CNN honcho, Jeff Zucker, other co-workers, and a man, who he referred to as the “love of my life.”
