RIP Lee, We are praying for God’s mercy for you.
I love you . I wish we had a better relationship but thank you for passing on the gift of music I wish you could here me play now
Beverly, Debby, Robert, Carol and Duffy,
Penny and Mike, and all the nieces and nephews,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We have fond memories of Lee’s carpentry skills when he made a wooden rocking horse for our daughter, Shawn when she was young. Lee had a generous heart.
Rest In Peace Lee.
Going to miss having the opportunity to have you one of my projects again. You were great at what you did and brought some levity to our day with your crazy stories. The world is going to be a bit sadder without you.
God bless to you all. Thinking of you and keeping you in our prayers. Know that we love you and our heartfelt love is there with you. You have two more angels watching over you!
RIP. I know the angels’ music just got a little bit sweeter.
