There are no words that one can say
To ease the pain and sorrow,
But, God, who knows that time will heal
has given us tommorrow...

Oh Lee! I pray that you have somehow found the peace and comfort that seems so elusive to some of us on this plain.

I may not believe, but, I DO understand.

You were a great guy and you will be sincerely missed!
til we meet again...and we will...
Peace!

My sincere sympathy goes out to the family! Especially Lee's beautiful girls!! Hey Angie, let me know if I can help with them in any way ok? I know they must be lost without their daddy.
Much Love.

Death nothing at all. It does not count. I have only slipped away into the next room. Everything remains as it was. The old life that we lived so fondly together is untouched, unchanged. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Call me by the old familiar name. Speak of me in the easy way which you always used. Put no sorrow in your tone. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes that we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was. There is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is hurt; nothing is lost. Once brief moment and all will be as it was before. How we shall laugh at the trouble of parting, when we meet again.
You are loved my brother.

Phyllis, Dwight,and all of Lee's family,
I was so shocked to hear of Lee's death; it is always difficult when one of "my kids", for that is what they are, dies so young. I have many fond memories of Lee, esp. when he really stepped up and filled in on opening night of the class play ...for the Lead! That took lots of courage! He was always so very good to me. May God bless you at this time, and I will keep you all in my heart and in my prayers. Love,
