Rest in Christ my cousin. You have left a beautiful legacy on this earth. Our love and condolences are with your family and, until we meet again on the other side, your memory will live on.
I have been praying to you and your family – I can’t imagion your loss. Mary.
So sorry for your family’s loss. Dr Lee was a kind man to his residents and employees at Gordon health while I knew him. He will be missed.
A one of a kind Doctor and man of Christ who will long be remembered for his love of his Lord Jesus and his love of helping people with his medical abilities. His hard work and love and dedication was beyond the call of his duties as a MD and I’m sure the Lord Jesus has said ‘ Well done my faithful servant ‘ for his spreading the word of Christ. May the family be comforted during this difficult times.
Forever the man who SHOWED me Christ..he didn’t inly tell me about Christ, he showed me through acts of love! My condolences to the Lee family
Sharon, I am so sorry to find this news of Skip! I have been trying to find you for years…I do pray you are surrounded with the peace that Skip was a Godly man and we will all see Jesus soon! Hugs to you my LLA best friend! Marjorie Moulthrop Yarnell. I live in Midlothian, Virginia!
Sharon and family. I had not heard about Skip until today. I am so very sorry to hear this. I enjoyed the years I worked with him.
Dearest Sharon, I just heard about Skip last Saturday. I am shocked and saddened for you and the rest of the family. My rememberence of Skip is of a super person, full of love and compassion. I am certain his impact on the world was immense.
Like Marjorie, I have attempted to connect with you. The last time I saw your mother, I failed to get your contact info in writing. I hope you are well.
Love always,
Harlene Boehm Issa
Absolutely heartbroken for your loss. Skip was a fantastic human being and a true example of the Great Physician here on earth. I for one feel very fortunate to have known him and so grateful for all that he did for me both in my health and my relationship with Christ. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
