Dan, our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family in this very trying time. While we did not know your father, we share your loss greatly, since we lost my Dad on March 27th. Dan, as we talked last Thursday on the cell phone, the loss of a loved one is great, but we try to understand that when the time comes we and the loved one seem to be able to realize some sort of peace knowing that they are in a more peaceful place. We also talked about how wonderful it is for the person to be in a Hospice to spend their last remaining days. Once again our sincere sympathy to you and Suzanne.

Please accept my sympathy and condolences on Lee Art's passing this past week. I will always remember Lee to be a wonderful, generous and caring family man. When I was Chairman of the Board of Ed. at Trinity School, Lee was my right hand man, I knew I could always count on him to back me up on almost anything. We pretty much saw eye-to-eye on the issues before us, and he was a loyal and committed supporter. He had a great sense of humor, and a wonderful smile. Fran Euken and I really enjoyed the fellowship we had with Lee Art and his family at Trinity. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. God's blessings, Ed LeClere

Ethel and family, I am very sorry for your loss. I am very thankful that Lee did not have to suffer for a very long time. I think God has a plan for all of us, and it might not always seem like the best plan, but Lee is in a better place in heaven, with no cancer of suffering. I am so thankful that Lee had his brother Jack this last week or so, to comfort him, and be by his side. What an inspiration Jack has been to me. I only hope that my siblings would do the same for me in my time of need. Nothing compares to the love of a brother, and I truly think that Jack was able to calm and reassure Lee in his final days. God Bless you all, I will be thinking of you.
