I want to give my heart felt condolences to the family. Lee was a fun person who made you laugh and lit up the room when he came in. It was such a shock to hear of his passing, but he is in a far better place now. RIP Lee.

The words I leave for you Little Bit and Bernard is to draw strength from each other and from God. I know each of you feel like why and how could this have happen. On that I am still trying to understand on different losses I have experienced. Yet I do know that the tears that you have today will ease and will be replaced with joy and laughter. Thinking of something funny he has done. Loving you both in Christ. Always here for you.

Uncle Lee,
I am trying to find the words to express the sorrow that I feel at this time. I will forever remember all the good times that we shared. Thanks for the many trips to Water Country and Kings Dominion and especially for the many laughs that we shared. Although I am heartbroken, I find comfort in knowing that you are dwelling in the house of the Lord with Aunt Jean and Granddaddy. Rest well Big Lee! You deserve your peace because you loved hard and played hard while you were here on earth. Until we meet again, I love you and will cherish your memories in my heart forever.
