Lee will always be remembered by me as a special "high school sweetheart" who, along with his wonderful family, helped fill a void that I was feeling with the break up of my own family. Lee always had a way of listening and understanding, beyond his young age, and made me feel very special and loved. I was always aware of how much he loved his family as well... (his "Mommy" and Dad, his special little sisters, Beth and Susan, and the dog he loved at that time, "Tinta"). Thank you Shirley, Beth and Susan for sharing Lee with me at a time when I needed him and for allowing me into your family for a time.
I hope your friends and family can help fill what I know will be a void in your life for quite some time, as he was much too young to leave this earth and I know it was surely unexpected by all.
May your family time be more sweet than bitter as you remember him next week and celebrate his life/memories.
Love to all of you and to Lee's family.
