Miss Beryl, our entire family and circle of friends that have had the immense joy and pleasure to have met and gotten to know Mr. Lee are so terribly sadden. He made a mark on each and everyone of us in a way that was special for each and will never be forgotten. For Easton, Carol, and I a true and trusted friend and companion is no longer there. He has left a mark which no one else can fill as he was truly sincere, caring, and unique. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
