Neal, Sylvia & Lance
Mr. & Mrs. Mixson,

I know there are no words to express how sorry that I am about Lee. It just doesn't seem possible or even real. I can only tell you he was a sweet, kind, and talented young man.

I do hate that I was out of town and not able to be with all of you during this time, but I want you to know that I have reached out to you in prayer asking God to lift you all up. I can't even imagine the pain, I can only say you all have and will always be special to Chase, Johnny and myself. We all spent many hours playing sports, investing in each others lives through our wonderful children, life isn't always fair, but GOD is always there for us!!

Just know you are in my prayers, and Chase will always remember his many wonderful times with Lee. Since God tells us, we will see each other again, that is our hope because he told us we would!!

Love you all, and hope to see you all soon!

Your Friend,
Debra Childs

There is nothing we can say to make it any better, because when LeeAnn moved to Heaven there was nothing anyone could say to us to make it better. We can say we love you and understand your pain. Just know that Jesus is with you during this diffcult time and will always be with you. Remember one thing "Isn't it Good to Know its's not the End." We will all be together again
one day soon. This time is will be forever.
Love, Prayers and Understanding.
