I am so sorry for your lost. It is so sad that we have this in common. The Lord is watching over us all and somehow we will survive. May the peace that surpasses all understanding be with you all, now and always.

Oh, Durst family, how our hearts ache with you. Mr. Lee was a fine man--husband , father,grandfather, friend. We will always cherish our memories of sitting just-inside-the-garage for those famous Durst family picnics...there isn't a time I drive by the house that I don't look up the long drive and give thanks for you all. We grieve with you and we look forward to the resurrection to come along with you. To Noreen, Rhonda, Norlee, and Karen (my women of the Word!) I especially send my love. You will be in my thoughts and prayers throughout the now-difficult season ahead.

In the bond of Jesus,

Lyn (and Ron, Emily, Kate, and Abby) Jones
