Hi, everyone. I just got back from Lee's funeral. Gosh, I love that guy. His retirement party was the 15th (knowing that we was dying). He took the pictures from the party and made a collage with them on posterboard. He signed them thanking everyone for their support. He also wrote up somethings that he wanted his sister to tell us at his funeral. One of them was insisting on a PARTY at his house after the burial. lol. He pretty much planned the whole thing out.
When I first walked in, his son was handing out Mentos. He goes "Here's a mentos from my dad." I thought that was strange until his son spoke later. I'd never really given it much thought, but Lee always had Mentos in his front shirt pocket. According to his son, it was also in his bedroom, in his car, in the cupboard. He was hooked on the candy. Well, apparently last night, his son went to put a jacket on and found Mentos in the pocket from the last time his dad had worn it. He felt it was a sign from his dad, so we all had a Mentos together.
Us SBC employees had flowers made in SBC colors that we all dropped on the casket. Things went nicely.
His wife was such a sweetheart, she tried her hardest to keep humor. Like when she was talking, she started laughing and goes "I'm staring at this paper like I am actually reading it."
