Sharon, I'm so sorry to hear about Lee. What a fellow he was, and I know he'll be missed. I feel like it couldn't possibly be that I've known you all for as long as I have but I guess its been near to 30 years. Lee always brought a smile to my face. I'll be in touch and will keep you in my prayers!

Sharon, Russon, and Ashlee,
We grieve with you over your sudden loss. As you go through the emotions and stages of grieving, we pray you will keep going back to the promises in God's Word. We were really sad we could not attend the funeral, but please know we are thankful that Lee was part of our family and for the wonderful legacy he left... Russon and Ashlee are evidence of that. I remember you all were married at 6:30 p.m. so that your hands could always be together. You modeled that togetherness in thirty-two years of faithful Christian marriage. We are so thankful you will be together for eternity. "Come unto Me, all ye that ... are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28. Kevin, Marsha, Brooke, and Bailey Jordan

Sharon & family,

We are so sorry to hear about the homecoming of Lee. Rest assured that the Lord has prepared a mansion for him. Together with Lee, you two have raised two very wonderful children and he leaves behind a great legacy. We always enjoyed sitting next to Lee at family reunions because he always had a great story or two to tell. Your family is in our prayers.

Dearest Sharon,
I am SO VERY SORRY to hear of your loss. I didn't know anything at all about this until reading in the paper this Friday morning. Words are so hard and difficult at a time like this. Even though I didn't know Lee that well, your and my friendship will forever endure. I wish I could come up with the correct words to make this easier but only time will lessen your sadness and grief. All my love to you, Russon and Ashley. If there is anything at all I can do please don't hesitate to ask. I will try to come up and see you soon. Again, all my symphathies to you and your wonderful family.

I feel so heart broken that Lee will not be here with us. We have all lost so much with Lee's passing. We talked gardening often. Shared hunting stories. He shared so much with so many and in different ways. The world was a better place because Lee Bibbs was here.

Dear Bibbs Family,
With heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your loved one. May God bless and comfort you now and in the day's ahead.
The years may pass us by but we always have the fond memories that we can cherish of those we have known. Lee was certainly a wonderful person and will be greatly missed. The candle, a symbol of our life, dims on earth and fades only to become a brighter light in heaven as we begin our new journey with the Lord.
Your Friend,
Linda (Thomas) Schuyler

I have had the pleasure to have known "Lee Roy" most of my life. We went to school together as children. We also have been >30 year employees of RMH. He never had anything but a smile of his face, something pleasant to say, talking about his wife and children, or asking me about my children and granddaughter.
I was so saddened to hear this morning of his passing. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. He was a great man.
I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. May God wrap His loving arms around you and give you comfort.
