Lee was a former neighbor who always opened the door and extended kindness to our family, most notable my children when young. To this day, when they return to Sacramento, we drive down our former street hoping to see the much- remembered Lee. So sorry to hear about his passing. Kimberly A. Edwards

Hello, found Lee business card in my rodex. Thought I would Goole him. Sorry
to hear that he passed on. Took a cruise so many years ago and met you and Lee. Talked about bottles, and I told him I would send him my whiskeys. Did he receive the bottles? Sorry about your loss. [email protected]

Carolyn I'm sorry I put in a note and forgot to sign it. We felt so bad to hear this
as we didn't even know that Lee was having problems. He was always such a fun person to visit with.
We're praying for you and for Lee.

Oh, Carolyn our hearts go out to you and the whole family.

After I'd spoken with you about what Lee was going through, I'd so hoped that he'd live much longer and that the two of you would share many more wonderful times before he went to be with God. Larry and I are so very sorry that he was taken so soon.

The two of you were blessed in having a wonderful, full life together and we know that you'll always have the memories. Lee will always be a part of you and living in your heart--he'll be hovering nearby and knows how much you loved him and miss him.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. We'll be watching for the notice of a memorial service and hope to be with you for that.
