Home to Heaven
Lee,
my sweet, precious husband,
went home to the Lord on
Saturday, March 22,2008.
His funeral will be Thursday, March 27.
He was a man of God,
a loving husband,
a fantastic father,
and a proud grandfather (Poppy).
He was also a brilliant editor, and video producer
who worked tirelessly for the Lord's Kingdom.
He was an example to many
of how to live a grace-filled
and gracious life.
He was loved by many.
We are heart-broken and miss him terribly.
We rejoice that he is with the Lord hed had loved for many years.
We are grateful that he is now healed!
John 14:1-3
1"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.
2In my Father's house are many rooms;
if it were not so, I would have told you.
I am going there to prepare a place for you.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back
and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
4You know the way to the place where I am going."

Myrna - I'm so sorry to hear about Lee. My prayers are with you and your family.
Myrna, I was so heartbroken to hear that Lee had passed away over the weekend. What a tremendous loss for everyone who knew him, especially you and your precious family. Lee was a tremendous person and I always wished I could have been around him more. He always brought a smile to my face. I look forward to the day when your entire family will stand together in heaven and see the impact that your lives had on the kingdom for God's glory. What an amazing day that will be. Well done, good and faithful Myrna. May God pour out every comfort on you this week and in the year to come.
All my love,
Amanda
Oh, Myrna ... I am so so sorry for great loss. What an amazing legacy your precious husband has. His work and service for God will have rippling impact on many for years to come.
I am rejoicing with you in his ultimate healing. Knowing he is face to face with his Jesus must bring you much comfort.
I'll be praying for you in the days and weeks to come as you go through this difficult process of grief.
May God bless you in your sorrow.
Myrna, One is never ready for news such as this! We are so sorry to hear of you losing Lee. We will be praying for you and your family as you prepare for his funeral.
As you have said, he is now healed and so happy because he is with the Lord.
Wanted you to know that so wish I could just wrap my arms around you and hug you.
You are a very special lady and I pray that the Lord of all heaven will pour out his grace and peace that passes all understanding in this time.
I am so very thankful that you have a wonderful family to walk beside you as you begin this new path of life.
Oh, what a day it will be when we ALL see Jesus. I'm sure Lee is smiling ear to ear as he beholds Him face to face.
Blessings my friend.
Oh Myrna, You have my deepest sympathies! I just read over at LPM blog and put it all together. (now I get the Bible study connection)
I want you to know, you and your family are in my prayers - and if I could hug you, YOU KNOW I WOULD!!!
Lots of love and prayers,
Leigh Ann
I just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you and your family...and have tears in my eyes just thinking about the incredible legacy that your husband leaves behind. May you be covered with a peace that passes all understanding in the days and weeks and months to come...He is able, and He is faithful.
Myrna, I am so sorry for your deep loss. I will raise you and your family in prayers as you go through the difficult days ahead.
Just happened to find you, and I had read earlier today about your husband on the LPM site. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, but am also rejoicing with you that Lee is seeing our Savior's face!!
Praying that God blesses you richly in the days to come and that He brings back memories-perhaps long forgotten memories- that make you smile and laugh.
Oh Myrna - I am so very sorry. I add my prayers to those of countless others who are praying the God of all peace will just surround you with His presence and fill you with His love.
I am so sorry. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.
I'm so sorry to hear of your great loss. I know that Jesus will walk this journey with you - I will remember you in prayer every time the Lord brings you to my mind.
Myrna, as i write this, my heart is heavy for the loss of Lee, yet grateful for the time you all shared with him, he will be missed so very much. To you, my dear Sister...my heart is with you. You are such an inspiration to me and I love you dearly. I could never have asked for a better husband than Kevin for our daughter, or a better family to love her as you all do. You and I are very fortunate to have such wonderful, Spirit filled children and grandchildren. May Jesus hold your heart especially close to His through these very sad times...Wanda
Myrna,

Ms. Myrna I am a friend of Holly's and I am so sorry to hear of you and your family's loss! I will keep you and your sweet family in my prayers! Lee sounds like a wonderful Christian Man. Please know that you are in our daily prayers during this sad time. May God bless and comfort you today and the days to come!
Oh Myrna my heart and prayers go out to you. I am so thankful that we are not like those who have no hope.......because our hope is in the Lord and you KNOW where Lee is and just think......He got to spend Easter with Jesus!!!!!!
Susan

Oh Myrna, I'm so very, very sorry! I'm sitting here gasping in shock. My most sincere condolences and my prayers, as well.

I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Suzy
Oh, Myrna...my heart goes out to you right now. I am so, so sorry...
I am reminded of how it felt for my mom and I nearly 20 yrs ago when my dad passed away...and my prayers will be with you this week.
God used your husband mightily...and how precious that he is with his Savior at this very moment!
But I know how much you are hurting...God bless and be with you in this time of great loss, dear Myrna.
Myrna, Just wanted to let you know you were consistantly in my thoughts and prayers all day yesterday. I wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and your sons as you lay Lee to rest today. My the peace of God surround you and my you have THAT peace that truly does pass understanding which only HE can, and does, give. I wish I could hug you and weep with you but I weep with you from afar.
Susan
My goodness - I am so far behind. I can't even imagine what it would like to lose your soul mate - I know I will someday, but can't imagine it. I love that you know exactly where he is and that he is enjoying his new home! It is always hardest on those left behind.
Oh Myrna I thought I'd check in to see if maybe you had had a chance to post something and was totally taken by surprise at Lee's home going! I knew he was having some bad days but didn't realize it was as serious as it was. God's timing is perfect though isn't it? My heart sings for Lee as he is in the perfect place and whole again! My heart breaks for you as I know you will miss him terribly! My prayer is that God will give you the peace and comfort to help you through this. Lee was a great man of God, you should be proud! xoxoxo
Myrna,
I am so sorry to hear of your husbands passing. Please know that your are in my prayers.
May God bless you.
Linda
Myrna,

What a great loss this is for you and your family, and my prayers are with you all during this difficult time.
Oh Myrna, I am sooooo sorry to hear about the loss of Lee! I can't even imagine how much your heart is hurting. He sounded like such a wonderful man and husband and I am sure you will miss him greatly. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Hugs to you!
Just me again thinking of you! xoxox
Dear Myrna,
I'm so very sorry to read of the loss of your beloved, Lee.
Please know that I'll be praying for you and your family during this difficult time.
(((hugs)))
Just dropping by once again to say you are on my mind.
Susan
Myrna - I just passed along an Award to you. When you see what it is I think you will understand why I did this even at this very sad time you are dealing with.
Susan
I wanted to stop by and let you know that I was thinking about you today. I am currently involved in the "Jesus, The One and Only" study with my church. I missed one session a few weeks ago because of traveling. The woman leading the group allowed me to bring the tape home with the session I missed. I watched it til the end...where I saw Lee's name and pictures of him and the others. It made me think of you, my precious friend, and I just kept asking God to hold on to you so tightly! Sending this with much love and as many hugs as you're willing to take!!!
