Vernon "Lee" Gaines

Guyann and Taylor,

I just heard about Lee today and I can't tell you how sorry I am. You and Lee have always been some of the finest people I have ever known. My Lee story is from the mid 80's. Earnest had him take a load of horses home from a show including my cutting mare, Ginger. I told Lee to take good care of my horse. The next day when he brought Ginger back she had some skinned places on her face. Lee came up to me very embarrassed and said "I promised to take good...

Guyann,
I never meet you husband, but have heard you tell great stories about him. You and Taylor have great memories to cherish for ever. My prayers and thoughts will be with you. God Bless.
Your friend and helper at 4H shows.

I worked with Lee at the Frisco R.R. Iam sadden by passing of a fellow railroader.My prayers go out to his family.

Oh what great memories we have of Lee and our Paint horse show days. He not only was a great horseman, but a fine fellow as well. Even though we haven't seen him in many years, the memories will always remain with us. Our love to Guyann and Taylor in these hard times. Thanks for the memories.

I enjoyed working around Lee. He always spoke when we saw each other at work. I enjoyed his sense of hurmor. I hope the best for his family.

What a friend he was, and what a neighbor. The most unpretentious man I have ever known. God be with him and with his family as they grieve for it is a great loss to them, to his friends and neighbors, and the world. RIP Lee.

I met Lee for the first time during a riding lesson at Earnest Wilson's house about 7 years ago. I had recently purchased a horse (Whopper) at an auction from him and Guyann. I was telling Lee how well Whopper was doing in the Paint Horse Shows and he said Whopper Boy I am glad to see you are earning your keep and that I decided not to send you to the glue factory after all and than he gave that distinct chuckle that he always had. I am so blessed to know Lee and Guyann over the years. ...

Lee was a great friend and neighbor and we are honored to have known him. He will be missed. His family has all our thanks for sharing him with us. May God bless his family and help them through this difficult time.

LEE WAS A GOOD FRIEND AND WILL BE MISSED GREATLY.MAY GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
