Cindy, I never met your father but I see a lot of you in him. If he was anything like you, which he sounds like he was, then he was a wonderful blessing. Prayers are with you.

We had the opportunity to meet Mr. Lee about 15 years ago when he came to our church, Ocran UMC, to pickup Cindy Lee. It was fascinating to hear the stories about Cindy growing up...it explained so much! Please know that you are in our thoughts & prayers. We love you Cindy Lee!

Wow he's going to be missed! I have so many wonderful memories and tales ranging from his serious community contributions to what some of us call his expapades to "rescue" things from the dump. The hams he cooked and sliced so lovingly were special. And, of course, his influence on his daughter Cindy, in particular, will live on. (I mean how else can we explain some things? :) Our prayers and sympathy to all of the family and friends touched by this wonderful man.
