Deb and family, We will keep you all(each of the Lee descendants), in our thoughts and prayers. Hold your precious memories close at heart. Your Dad will watch over you from above, Deb. There is no doubt that he was grateful to live close and appreciated all of the love and care you gave. He was blessed to have you as his daughter.
