Lee was known to be stubborn, feared for his tickles and a lover of sweets, but most importantly he was known to be a family man. His devotion to his family and friends was unmatched.
Whether you're his son or daughter, sister or brother, niece or nephew, family or friend, grief is the price we pay for love. So with your grieving hearts remember that death may bring heartache that's hard to heal. However, love leaves a memory no one can steal.
Always in our memories, forever in our hearts!
