You’ll always be in my thoughts good buddy
All of a sudden, you were unexpectantly gone from us. We will always be devastated to have to continue without your love, sweet disposition, expertise in so many things and devotion to your family. You are my first-born son and, along with your brother, were my reason for being, all my life. I will miss you forever as will all of us. I am thankful that I got to kiss you goodbye as you slipped peacefully away from me…not wanting to let you go, but knowing I had no choice. You, my beautiful, sweet boy, are no longer by my side, but you are in my heart forever. Love you always, Mom
Lee was a Awesome Great guy to say the least ! He was a best friend and he was there every time I needed him. I miss you everyday brother.
