What can you say about a man like Lee. He was funny,kind and one of the largest hearts towards dogs. I met Lee when he sold us our house and became friends with a common interest of animals. He will be greatly missed.

I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still - in each new dawn.
Lee, you left us all to soon and you will be very missed. We know how dear your dogs were to you and we all are doing our best to give them the life you wanted. I know you are with Sami once again and all the other dogs & humans you held dear. You are now are our guardian angel and we will meet you again across the Rainbow Bridge.
My condolences to all Lee's friends & family.... we lost someone very special .
