Dear Lee family....I was saddened to hear of Philip's leaving us. We graduated together from Garrett High in '68. His dry sense of humor along with some of the stunts we pulled are unforgettable. Jay and family, please know that you will be in my prayers. May God bless and keep each of you.

I was very sorry to hear of your loss. We have not seen one another since high school days at Garrett, but I always remembered him as a kind and gentle soul. We shared a lab table in Mrs. Ayoub's Biology class. He was always willing to help an awkward teenage girl trying to disect one ugly bullfrog! With time, the pain will ease and only the sweet memories will remain. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Aunt Sue, Jay, Dianna, Patrick & Clinton,

Our hearts go out to you all at this time. It just doesn't seem possible that Philip is gone. We've been talking about all the times when you all used to come visit with us on the farm--and how much trouble we could all get into in such a short space of time. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you, and that God heals all hurts with time. Until Friday night--Love to you all.
