Our thoughts will be with all of you as you celebrate Lee's life tomorrow. He will be greatly missed. Before my father (Lee's uncle Walter) passed away, he said he wanted his ashes buried with his brother, Winter, because they had such great times together and he was looking forward to more. My mother, Florence, has said how much my dad loved Lee. Now, they are all together along with so many who have gone before. We miss them all but know that it is part of the cycle of life and that they are now at rest and peace.

We don't always know the difference we make in other people's lives. I know Lee didn't. Yet he has affected so many in so many different ways. He always seamed to have a smile or words of encouragement at the right moment. That is something Lee has done for me many times. Mostly he did it with his sense of humor. He was always the first person around anytime there was an illness, tragedy or death in the family. He has always loved and supported all of us. I always felt that if he did not know what to say or do he would just pick up his guitar and sing. That was always calming to me. His influence has helped me in ways big and small. I appreciate him and the difference knowing him has made in my life. It is a real privilege being a part of this family. I have a life time of memories and affection for him that will always be there. He will be greatly missed.
To Aunt Betty, Gary, Barbara and Brenda. I love you all dearly. Lee was a great man. I am so sorry for your loss.
Love Donna

To the Atwater Family, Lee was a hard man. He was tough. But really enjoyed him in my later days at Wheeler. He will be missed and hope all is well with your family!!
