Dear Sharyn,
My heart goes out to you in this time of sorrow. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Sharon,
Mike and I are so sorry for your loss. We did not know Harold well, but the few times we saw you together, you seemed so happy. I read a note that said, “I do not know what to say, I do not know what to do, I do know I can pray.” That is what we will do, keep you close in prayer that God will give you the strength to meet one sunrise after another. Depend on good memories and no regrets and remember you both were well loved by each other. Please feel free to call us if you need anything – we go way back to grade school years and I’ll never forget how nice you always were to me.
Lee was like a big brother to me and “never pulled any punches” being firm, open, honest and supportive. As a” little brother” I would at times resent his staunch advise, but always admired and respected his sincerity. Under that supposed firm exterior was a good hearted man that was there to help family and friends at any time. As myself, little things met a lot to Lee…our Christmas luncheons, Apple Blossom and family gatherings, , and frank phone conversations. My most memorable moments were Lee honoring my retirement with an awesome lunch, going to a Virginia Tech football game, and the time we made it through power washing my house. Lee I thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing experiences, and prudent words on life and relationships, and know I truly loved and admired your good heart, excellent work ethic, and being a true friend. You will always be loved and missed. You were the best big brother (not by blood) I could ever had. Keep on truckin’ brother and I hope to see you again! Love always, Doug
