I was so sorry to hear of Lees passing. We had many wonderful conversations at the coffee table, years ago, when I lived in Little Rock. He was a dear friend and person I admired and respected. My prayers be with you.
Sincerely,

Martha and family: Lee's death is marked by sadness and reflection. Our times spent together were as teens and young men; however, here lies some of my mosts joyful and fun memories - friendship, cattle sales in Conway, riding about in Lee's convertible and of course sharing a meal together. The steaks were always tastiest from his family's meat packing business. Elisabeth and I wish to express our deepest sympathies at this time of sorrow and rememberance.

Martha, Julie, Dicie and Lainey,
We are so sorry that Lee is not with you any more, but rejoice that he is no longer in pain and free from the struggles of this life. I am sure Lee will keep the coffee warm for his friends and hugs for his family waiting until we join him above. We will pray for your comfort in the days to come and hope that you know we love each of you, and we are there for you if you need anything at all.
