    Kathy, Pat, and family: I was saddened to hear of the passing of my first cousin, Eddie Lee. I know we haven’t done a very good job of keeping in touch; however, I will always remember Eddie, Gary, and Pat as those cousins that would come to visit Granny Chamberlain and we would all go to her house in Leadwood to eat, visit, and make memories together. I am sorry that we won’t be able to attend the memorial service or burial for Ed; however, please know that we are sending hugs, love, and lots of prayers to each of you during this difficult time.

    Kathy, Shelley and Family,

    We are sorry for your loss and will pray for gods hand to come down and lift you up during this most difficult time.

    Ed was a great caring man. I know he was there for your family many times in good times, and bad times. Remember all the people he helped in this world, and all the people you both touched.

    May God be with your entire family at this time as he will be very missed here on earth but he will be watching down from haven!!!!
