Dear Lana and Family!
My sincere condolences to you and your family. I am so sorry I couldn’t attend Carl Lee’s services. He was one of my very favorite cousins and he will be missed by so many, but he is okay now. His smile always made one feel loved and his devotion to all he loved. Carl Lee, Johnny Wayne and I made some of the most awesome mud pies, ever! I have so many great childhood and adult memories of Carl Lee. I’ll hold them dear to my heart. God Bless you and give you comfort.

My sincerest condolences to my Williams side of the family on the passing of Carl Lee. He was my cousin and a good guy and family man. I have fond memories of our families getting together at my parent’s house in Greenview. He is now with his cousin, Cheryl Gillespie, who passed away in Mason City Thanksgiving day.May they both rest in peace.
