Wish we could be there to give the Didier family a great big hug. Lee is an amazing man and will be missed. Without your friendship to my parents we would not exist thanks to the Lee and Bobbi matchmakers!
Bobbi and Family, I am so sorry for your loss! My first thought was on Lee rejoicing in Heaven with Stephen, with no more pain, brings a smile to my face. Lee was such a kind man and also one of my Dad's greatest friends! He was a quiet, gentle man. You are all in my prayers, asking God to give you strength and peace through this difficult time. Love and ((Hugs)) to you all! Psalm 73:26 - My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Our heart felt condolences and will keep you in our prayers. May he Rest In Peace
Aunt Bobbie, Sue, David, family, and friends - our hearts break for you all! Uncle Lee was truly one of the good ones - there are so many happy memories from Palatine to Gulf Shores and in between. Uncle Lee was like another brother for my Dad. We love you and wish you peace and comfort knowing that his memories will live on in your hearts. Sending many hugs your way!
Dear Bobbie As a newly widow of 4 months I hope and pray that you will know that your husband will be missed by all who loved him and new him as a good friend. It is so helping to know that to ease some of the pain. I’m not good with words but my heart goes out to you and will keep you in my prayers.
Our heart felt condolences and will keep you in our prayers. May he Rest In Peace
