To go out for lunch or dinner, but I couldnt....we started txting, talking on the phone, you'd come over, call me several times a day.I wasn't aa , but he lived and loved that organization and the people that were His friends in AA. I respected him so much for his dedication for his love of everything AA. Lee and I became the closest of friends! I dont know how I'm going to get over you not being here Lee....

No retreat, no return, no regret. My gratitude is my greatest debt. You my friend warm and kind, We felt your words were genuine. I'll take the time to stop and grieve. Miracles do happen if we believe. We always called it language of the heart. we have a time to arrive and our time to depart. There are times our lives don't seem real fair although, Life is so fragile, we handle with prayer. Sobriety has truthfully been my guide, Hopefully we meet again on the other side~

Lee spent many days at my home when he began his journey in sobriety. He knew the meaning of returning what he received. A friend will always be a friend and love is something you give without condition. So to my friend I say you are missed but never forgotten. My prayers are with your family.

Lee was a guiding light in the first days of my newly established journey. A gentle soul, Lee leaves a cherished spot in my circle of many friends. Lee always had a wonderful perspective on life and was quick to share it. I'll miss seeing him in Wheeler and other places where our like-minded friends gather. Peace be with his family at this somber time.

The outpouring of love that I've seen for you is truly humbling. You were a guiding light to those in need. The difficult times that you experienced early was meant to prepare you for the amazing things that you accomplished during the last 16 years of your life. I never knew you personally, my cousin, but I was fortunate to get a glimpse of your goodness through Facebook.
