We loved Lee and Don! It is with sad hearts that we have lost both of them. They were a sparkle in our eyes full of life, fun adventures, and happiness. Lee had been my very good friend for many years and more recently we got to know Don. We spent many fun times together. We will forever miss them. They are forever in our hearts.
