Our fighter finally went home

All my sympathy to you and Emilee and everyone who was touched by Lee’s goodness. May you find some peace in the beautiful memories and the knowledge that love never dies.

Oh Heather,

I’ve been reading your posts. I can’t imagine the pain you are feeling through this loss. I read how much hope you had all those times and the fighter you both were! You give me hope! My eyes fill up with tears when I think of your loss. Lee sounds like a wonderful man. So glad to know God has him in His arms. You will get through this one day at a time. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.

Heather,
My deepest sympathy to you and Emilee, I truly understand your pain and I wish there were words I could express to ease your pain. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love from NH,

Dear Heather and Emilee,

I write this with tears in my eyes. You and Lee, and Butch and I started on this board about the same time, and I remember when we all went to the Mayo Clinic – we went in early April last year. Lee was so young, and words truly cannot express how sorry I am. We can take comfort in the fact that we know where they went though – we saw them go to the arms of the Lord. That is a big comfort to me, and I hope it is for you. I will be thinking of you, and praying that the Lord watches over you both and comforts you.

Love,

Joyce

Heather, I’m so very sorry for your loss. Lee was truly a fighter. Words can’t express the sorrow I’m sure you are feeling right now. Know that you will remain in our thoughts and prayers today and in the days to come. As Lainy’s poem expressed, although you cannot see Lee now, he is in Heaven watching over you and Emilee.

God bless you,
Lisa

Dear Heather and Emilee,

Prayers of comfort. The grieving will be hard, but during it you will remember all the wonderful times had as a family. Lean on each other and the Lord during this mournful time.

Dear Heather and Emilee, I am so very saddened to hear of Lee’s passing. He put up a valiant fight. And you were there to ease his journey all the way. Here is a poem for you and Emilee:

To my dearest family, some things I’d like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I’m writing this from Heaven.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there’s no more tears of sadness;
here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I’m out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
There’s so much that we have to do,
to help our mortal man.”
God gave me a list of things,
that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night,
the day’s chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you…
in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth,
and all those loving years.
Because you are only human,
they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry:
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there was some rain.
But one thing is for certain, through my life on earth is over.
I’m closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you
and many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I’d like it for you too;
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who’s in sorrow and in pain;
Then you can say to God at night….
“my day was not in vain.”
And now I am contented….
that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low;
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.
When you’re walking down the street
and you’ve got me on your mind;
I’m walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind.
And when it’s time for you to go….
from that body to be free.
Remember you’re not going…
your coming here to me.

Heather,
I feel so much pain from your news. Lee was too young. I am so sorry for your and Emilee’s loss. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
