Not sure what to say?

Here we are, just a little past the first anniversary of Lee going to be with the Lord. After my husband, Rodney, went to be with the Lord, someone told one of our daughters that this would be a year of "firsts": first birthday without him, first anniversary, Thanksgiving and Christmas without him, and that was true. Those can be difficult things to get through, but thank the Lord God that He is always with us and that we don't have to face hard times alone, because we have Him with us...

Just now hearing about Leland Sly's passing. We are so deeply saddened to hear this news. We always enjoyed his company at the Annual Special Forces Reunions. Just a few years ago we realized we lived in the same City! Life is just too short. You will be missed my friend. Rest in Peace.

Lee! He was one of my dads greatest friends! Growing up, as a kid we always want to know who’s dad talking to? I knew exactly who he was in the phone with because you could here LEE’S LOUD joyful laughter! And God bless you brother phrase! Every visit dad ever had with Lee I remember the conversations after we’d leave “Lee and Debby are such wonderful people” “he’s such a God fearing man” or “it was SO GOOD TO SEE HIM” because of all the stories he’d share! The last story he shared with my...

I just want to say that Lee was such a wonderful man. He was a real & true blue friend to my daddy, Rodney as long as I can remember. My daddy loved Lee & his whole family very, very much. When daddy was home during the last year of his life he’d be on the phone with the Lumber Yard, with friends, family, etc.. but I ALWAYS knew when he & Lee were talking because I could hear Lee’s MAGNIFICENT laughter all the way on the other side of our house.. through the phone lol. I’d say, “Daddy, tell...

God bless to family and prayers for comfort!

We have lost another great and godly man. Lee came into my family’s lives when I was still in high school, and we just loved him immensely! My mother thought highly of him and Debbie, as do my hubby(Bub) and I. No one can ever fill those boots, and he will be missed by so many. Rest with the angels Lee, and please give my Mom a big ole cowboy hug! Will be seeing you again! Love to the family, The Stewart’s.

I will be forever grateful to the Lord for putting Lee in my life. He was a great man of God who showed many the path of salvation. I appreciate and will be for ever greatful for the help he gave our church when I went and talked to him that we needed to clear some land he did not hesitate to help. He was the type of person who would always be willing to help and made you feel like family. He is in a better place and will be greatly missed. I will miss you my friend.
