Courtney,
What a life your dad led! How devoted he was to you. You made him so proud and it was so obvious when I saw the two of you together. He had quite the sense of humor as everyone knows. I know you will miss him - everyone who knew him will miss him.
Sincerely,

COURTNEY,
I WAS SO SADDENED WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS OF YOUR DAD. I MUST SAY THAT HE WAS SUCH A PHENOMINAL MAN. I LEARNED SO MUCH FROM HIS WISDOM, AND HIS GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR, WE BONDED LIKE GLUE. HE WAS A PERFECT GENTLEMAN, AND HE LIVED HIS LIFE FOR YOU. I ENJOYED BEING WITH HIM EVERY WEEKEND, THE TIME WOULD JUST FLY BYE,BECAUSE WE WERE SO COMPATIBLE. HE WAS A JOKER, AND HE HAD MET HIS MATCH. HE WILL BE MISSED IMMENSELY. I WANT TO THANK A PEACE OF MIND, FOR INTRODUCING ME TO ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY MEN THAT I HAVE EVER MET. HIS STORIES OF HIS OCCUPATION NEVER CEASED TO AMAZE ME, AND HE WAS ALSO A GREAT LISTENER. COURTNEY, I PRAY THAT GOD WILL GIVE YOU THE STRENGTH AND COURAGE THAT YOU ARE GOING TO NEED DURING THIS MOST DIFFICULT TIME, AS YOU AND YOUR DAD WERE INSEPARABLE. I ALSO PRAY FOR YOU THAT YOU WILL BEGIN A NEW LIFE FILLED WITH HEALTH, HAPPINESS, PROSPERITY, AND PEACE. I LOVED "MY LEE" AND I WILL NEVER FORGET HIM. TAKE CARE, AND GOD BLESS!

JEANNE DEXTER
A PEACE OF MIND
