Lee Roy,
I am at a loss without you. I catch myself wanting to text or call you daily as I did so often. I will always remember you as a close and dear friend. I cherish the great times we all spent together. Looking back, I guess we spent 45 years together …I wanted more but it was time to go home. I’m sure Carole welcomed you with open arms. Together forever. It was a honor and pleasure. Thank you for the gift of friendship.

So sorry to hear about Leroy. Leroy was one of the nicest men I’ve ever met. He was always smiling and happy. I hope he had a peaceful journey. Sending peace and comfort and love.
I taught Lee Roy in Sunday School. He was such a sweet boy and got saved in my class. I know where he is and the angels are rejoicing. I loved him and he will always be remembered.
I can’t speak for Lee Roy but I considered the two of us close friends, which aren’t easy to come by. I really don’t know what else to say except that I’m sorry and I’m here if there’s anything you need.
