Not sure what to say?

We are in Tucson AZ where we spent many happy times with Lee and Carol. Every day since we have arrived we have said we miss Lee and talked about what we remembered like watching MSU play AZ in basketball, playing scrabble when Lee got the highest score ever and just visiting and sharing Carols delicious meals.

Just now read Lee's obit. We had no idea even though we are cousins. So sorry.

Carol, Please accept my deepest sympathy on Lee's passing. I sure wish I'd been able to come say good bye to your sweet hubby. He was always such a great sport and so supportive when you were a leader in the MI Dental Hygienists' Association. Sending my love with hopes that, with your faith, it helps you just a little

Our hearts break with the news of Lee's passing and finding the words to express our sadness is impossible. Still, we have so many wonderful memories of joy, laughter and celebration that it reminds us in this darkness that we are so grateful to have shared much time together. We - my brother Steve McNiven, my sister Christine Daniels and myself Joan Helson - were so blessed to have the family of choosing in Lee and Carol Monroe, long time friends of my parents. Many visits to our parents'...

We were very saddened by the news about Lee. He and Carol have been great friends of ours for many decades. We shared a lot of laughs and experiences together. Lee was a very special person, kind and always positive. Many know that he had great financial expertise and used his talent in the service of many different charitable organizations. We had great times together in Boston and New York City, as well as in Arizona.

There are few people who leave this world having the reputation...

PLEASE EXCEPT MY SINCEREST SYMPATHY.PLEASE BE COMFORTED BY ISAIAH 61:1-2 WHICH STATES IN PART:"GOD HAS SENT HIS SON TO BIND UP THE BROKENHEARTED AND COMFORT ALL WHO MOURN".

When I moved onto Chesterfield PKWy there in 1948, Leon was my neighbor. We both attended East Lansing High School and graduated in 1954 from there.

Carol,
We want you to know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. We have treasured our many years of friendship with you and Lee. Remember the bridge games at your cottage? The one-hour AZ visit? Lee will be missed by many, and we're glad we got to visit before we left for FL. Sorry we won't be able to be at the celebration of his life. May God give you strength. Sincerely, Linda & Ed

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
