Blessed are those which die in Christ. It always troubles my heart to hear of a loved one leaving us, but there is such a great feeling in knowing that they were blessed with many years here on earth and have been taken to a greater home not built by mans hand. I want to say to the family, cherish the wonderful memories that the Lord has given you together and live to meet again. May the Lord bless and keep the Lee family while enduring these difficult moments. My prayers this day are for you, be blessed.

We'll going to miss you Bro. But you are in a better place called Heaven. Tell my mom and dad we miss them too. You slipped right on out of here from us. I know the food up there is better than what we have down here. :>) You know that's our joke. Love you so much!
