Joan, I am so truly sorry for your loss. I remember how proud dad was that he introduced such a kind, wonderful man into your life. He thought very highly of John, like so many others, and anyone who was ever around the two of you could see the happiness and love that you brought to each other. I hope you can find peace knowing that you will see each other again. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Becky

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr Lee. I would always say he was the nicest patient I ever met, and I was not lying! Such a sweet and mild-tempered man. He was always a pleasure to work with and even just to speak to when during his short time at Churchman Village. His family is in my prayers at this difficult time.
