So sorry for your loss my heart goes out to all Family and Friends Prayers for All
I’m so sorry you guys are going through this. Our thoughts and prayers are with all your family during this most difficult time.
Sadly, I don’t have personal memories with Tony Lee but I sure know his whole family and how much they love him. I remember seeing the photos of him in the pageants and hearing of his accomplishments from his mother and the gang at Roy and Rogers. I love this family and am so heartbroken for their loss. I’m sure there’s a recliner in Heaven with Roy Lee in it and I’d bet that Tony Lee is already in his lap and they’re enjoying a happy reunion. May God provide peace in knowing that you all will join that reunion some day. Until then, hold to the memories and know that you all are loved and though of today and in the days ahead.
I wish to extend my most sincere condolences to the family especially our dear friend, Mary Ann Grsy. Our hearts are broken. I pray for comfort and peace.
