I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to be there when grandpa died. I'm glad that I was at least able to see him and have him meet Andrew last month. I miss him already, but I know I'll be able to see him and give him a big hug and kiss again someday. To my family back home, we love you, and you're in our prayers. I love you, Daddy. G'pa will be missed so much.

Dear Judy, David and Renee:
I just now (today) got a call from my best friend Diane in Huntington with this very sad news of Uncle Lee passing on. I have a very heavy heart as I write. Uncle Lee was so nice to me growing up. He was such a loving person. Oh how the memories come flooding back to me.
Judy, I remember you vividly driving that cute little red VW Bug. David, I remember you being so handsome like your Dad. Renee, I remember you and those beautiful eyes and how gorgeous you are like your Mom. 30th street is a wonderful memory to me and so very close to my heart and Judy, David, Renee and Uncle Lee you are a huge, and loving part of my life of memories. Though so many years have passed I will always remember and cherish that wonderful time of my life.
I will be unable to attend Uncle Lee's funeral services, but please know that my heart and prayers are with you. Moreover, I want you to know that I love you and Uncle Lee from the bottom of my heart. The passing of the years has never changed my love I have for you.
Your niece and cousin,
Cheryl (Burrows) Skinner
and the Skinner family:
Monte, Andrea, Anthony and Steven (twins)
