Betty, Barney and family, we are so sorry for your loss. A sibling is your best friend and losing your brother is surely a very painful time. We pray for your brother and that you may find peace in his passing that his suffering is over. We send you big hugs Nanny and Pawpaw. The Dunphys.

Elaine,
I was shocked and sadened yesterday to learn of Kemp's death. My thoughts are with you and David. While most of my association with Kemp (I met him in '63) was business, still I considered him one of my best friends.I (as well as all who have known him) have experienced a great loss. Nothing, of course, can compare to your loss. May Kemp's spirit intervene and accompany you in your sorrow, and throughout the rest of your life.

David,
I can only hope to have the same relationship with my own boys as that of you and your Dad. You were as much a blessing to him as he was to you.
Well done Kemp. Your legacy lives on in your son. You have victory!
The entire Lee family is in our thoughts and prayers.
