So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
(3) "With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. (4)
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

Lee was such a blessing to my dad, Roy Rose, who also lives at Mt. Carmel. Always a gentle smile on his face and a kind word. It was a joy to visit with him and we appreciate his friendship with Daddy at Mt. Carmel. His friendship and kindness extended to our family as we visited Daddy. May God comfort you. You have our deepest sympathies.
