Dear Sue,
I heard of the sudden loss of your beloved Lee from Jon Evans after returning from vacation. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I often think of you, Gary, your mom and dad, and my mother and all the laughs we had at Immanuel.

Dear Sue & Family,
Vernon and I were deeply saddened to learn of Lee's untimely passing. We pray for comfort and strength for you all during this trying time and we give thanks for the many years God blessed you with his presence. From our observations through the years, Lee was a very caring and compassionate man. One with a strength or softness - whichever was appropriate for the occasion. We pray that the period between the pain of loss will be replaced by precious memories.

Dear Lisa, LeAnne, Sue, Josh, and Joel,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Lee. He was a wonderful father, and a kind and caring friend. I always think of him with affection as I remember him as our next door neighbor on Milford Mill Road when I was growing up. We spent many delightful times with Mr. Lee and his family. I will never forget how we danced together on the driveway when I was about 10. He always made me smile! These are memories that will last a lifetime. Please accept my sincerest condolences and the thoughts and prayers of our family. I can just see Howard and Mr. Lee playing baseball in heaven as they look down on us. They will always be watching over us. God bless you all in this time of sorrow!!
Love,
Sis and the Singleton Family

We were so saddened to hear of Lee's passing. Through my eyes, he was a terrific person and wonderful husband. Lee and Sue were the best example of how to parent in a blended family. When talking with Lee you always could feel his love and affection for his family - Sue, all of the children and grandchildren come through in any conversation. He will be missed.
