Mr. Lester LEE Wallace Jr.

Great man and talented musician...lee you will be missed!!

I remember a little over two months ago before you passed, when you called me up and I was out fishing, you hadn't been fishing with me in 30 years and wanted to know where I was, And you drove out to where I was at lake ThunderBird and you helped me carry all my tackle to this fishing spot I wanted to try,and you stayed with with me until I was ready to leave tho we didn't catch anything It was the best fishing trip I ever had. I now realize you were telling me Good By. I love and miss you Lee. RIP brother !!! Tim Stanford.

Dear Veronia and Sherree,

Lee will be missed and never forgotten! He was a very talented, gifted and loving man. I always enjoyed the times spent with him and how he could entertain me and so many people with his musical talent. I always enjoyed talking to him about heating and air conditioning repair, playing pool with him and going out to eat with Lee, Veronia and my beautiful wife Sherree! All of the times spent with Lee will be cherished and never forgotten. I will miss you and see you in heaven on day. My prayers will always go out to you Veronia and his family and friends.

Lee
I remember a few times I met you as I was only a child. I hope you have the peace you deserve. You have 3 great daughters I had the pleasure of callin my family but your loss has saddened them with broken hearts. I know you will watch over them each and every day. May you rest in peace as everyone holds your memory's near and dear.

Lee...dad,
I see you every time I look in the mirror, or someone takes a picture of me. I think of you every time I make up a goofy song to sing with Maria, and when we watch Snoopy movies, and when she tries to mimic the Woody Woodpecker laugh. I hear you every time I play my piano and guitars, or take over a drum set at the music store. I remember you every time I tap my hand on the window to the beat as I'm driving. I still feel your touch every time I wake up with my arm over my eyes. We may not have had the time together we should have but I still turned out so much like you. Until I heard everyone's stories and memories, and went through your things, I never realized just how much. I will never forget the fun times we were able to have. I'm glad we got to go sunning together and float in the pool one last time, like we used to do. There's no good way to say or accept goodbye, but I can keep the happiness inside me because I know you're not gone. You're every part of me that makes me different, that make me rock, that makes me who I am. I have always missed you, even if neither of us were good at showing or saying it, and I will miss you twice as much now.

I wrote this poem for you on my birthday this year. I was going to keep it for myself, but Veronia seems to enjoy all of my writing she keeps finding, so I wanted to include one final piece.


If I Could Know the Unknown
A Poem for Lee
By Jacquelyn Crawford 11-17-2015

If I could know the unknown and go back in time, would I miss you as much? Would my heart be redefined? If I could see how we played, or things we used to do, if I could know the unknown and again be with you.

If we could go back, would we save the lost days? Or would it replay the same, our separate lives in the way?

It seems like decades since we last shared a smile, although I see yours daily on the face of my child. My memories of you remain forever compiled of music and innocence -- longing for reconcile.

If I could know the unknown and understand why my lack of memories with you force tears from my eyes; maybe, then I would know how the hell I'm supposed to say goodbye.

Instead the dreams I sustain will forever contain you and I somewhere out there, as father and daughter, with lost time reclaimed.

If I could know the unknown there's so much I'd redo. Please take this goodbye to where dreams come true. When it's time to know the unknown, I'll be right there with you.

Its still so hard to believe that you are gone. I am thankful that 35 ago you took me in as your own and becane my dad. You always watched over me and took care of me. I know that you will still be watching over me and protecting me. You loved me for who I was and accepted me for who I was striving to be. You were strong for a reason. Your strength gave me a sense of protection. Now that you are in heaven, I know you will continue to protect me. Thank you for being my dad. I will always love you and miss you. Until we meet again.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I miss talking to you, calling and checking on you and going out to eat at our favorite restaurants. Every time our birthdays roll around I will have crab legs for us! Wish I had more time to spend with you. I loved hearing you sing/play and us goofing around singing karaoke. I will treasure all the memories. I am part of you so you will live on through me. I will do everything we liked to do together like eating, karaoke, playing pool, going to Mexico, having Dobermans and going to bet on the horses.
Love your daughter,
Sherree Lee

Been having a hard time to come up with the right words to say. You taught me so much growing up and I'll never forget that. But remembering touch a easy, I do it every day. Missing you is the heartache that never goes away. I love you dad.

It has been hard for me to find the words to say, so here goes:
I can no longer see you with my eyes, touch you with my hands but I will feel you in my heart forever.
If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane we would walk right up to Heaven and bring you back again, no farewell words were spoken no time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it and only God knows why. Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow, what it meant to lose you no one will ever know. But now we know you want us to mourn for you no more, to remember all the happy times, life still has much in store. Since you will never be forgotten, we pledge to you today a hallowed place within our hearts is where you will always stay.
It is not the goodbyes that hurt but the flashbacks that follow.
I love you dad and I will always love you and carry a special place for you in my heart. Until we meet again.
Love your daughter,
Sherree Lee

Lee,
The day you were called to your heavenly home, we here were left heartbroken. Your family, friends and musical supporters all lost an amazing talented generous man. I lost the love of my life, my soulmate, my life partner. My life shattered on 11-4-15 @ 6:05 pm. My life will never be the same without you. I am not as strong as you think, my life is upside down and nothing makes sense without you. I make myself leave the house putting one foot in front of the other because I know that is what you would want me to do. I know you would be very proud of me for how hard I am trying to keep going. I even went to play pool on our pool team and it was great being around our friends that love and miss you too. I listen to your CD and cry. I just like hearing your voice. I love listening to your recording on your phone for the audition on the Voice. It never ceases to amaze me how talented you are. I am and will always be your number one fan. Remember you are to be waiting for me, I will be there soon. All my love forever and for eternity.
Your loving wife,
Veronia Wallace

Will always remember you Lee....you got me through a lot with your strength and positive attitude. Will see you again Brother. Happy and Pleasant journeys till we meet again my friend....Love ya always, your pal Micheal Bear Clair

RIP Sweet man ♡♡♡

Too young and gifted to leave, but guess the Lord had other plans. RIP Lee. Prayers to family and friends.

All i can sit and think about is the Positive Energy that Radiated off Lee, and became contagious to others!! I picture Lee, being Greeted with a hug, into the band above, by Speedy West...what an incredible Band that Will be!!! Thank You Lee, for the Talent and Love that you shared with SOOOO Many!! We could only hope to strive and be more like you.....Goodbye buddy.

He has gone to play in the greatest band in Heaven!

Thoughts and prayers...rip lee..i remembered when he dj at my wedding and playing with valorie and the wild card band..Bethany

Lee and I played together for several years. He was a very good musician. He enjoyed laughing at me when I would do my chicken dance to billy Jean. See in the next life brother it was a honor knowing you on this earth.

I was praying you'd get better, but God had other plans sweet Lee. Guess he's short great drummers in Heaven, because great is surely what you were. Always a sweet gentleman to me, and in this world, gentlemen, we so appreciate when we have the honor to meet one.......May God comfort your precious family you loved so dearly in your passing to the Kingdom of God.

My thoughts and prayers to Veronica and the family, Lee will be greatly missed by many. RIP.

So sorry for your loss.

RIP LEE

My deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers go out Veronia and family. Lee was a great friend and co-worker, I am blessed to have known him! May he rest in peace! May God bless your family to get through these rough times.

Lee was a true friend to all musicians. Lee always made me feel as though we had grown up together (we didn't) and had a way of making people laugh. He will be missed and never forgotten. I pray that God grants Veronia and the Family Peace and strength. Lee touched so many lives and we are all better for having shared a little time in his life. Till we meet again----

This world will miss you down here Lee. I hope that God will give Veronia strength and comfort through this sad and devistating time as well as his daughters and family. Thinking and praying for you all. Lee was a good guy. I'll never forget him and all of the memories. Rest in Peace <3

It was such an honor to share the stage with Lee and I was proud to call him my friend. The one thing even greater than his talent was his heart. He was genuinely a good man and our lives are richer because he was a part of them. I will miss that big smile behind the drums.

Praying for you and your family Veronia durning this difficult time. From everything I have heard and read Heaven has gained an angel.

I know that heaven has gained such a wonderful, talented, kind, and loving angel! Beautiful music is probably being played in heaven right now! Rest in peace Lee. Thank you for helping me a few years ago!

Sherree,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I pray that God comforts you and your family during this trying time and gives you the strength and comfort you so desperately need right now. Love you sweet lady. Huggss.
