Roy was a gentleman and a true friend. I have many great memories of a man I truly respected. 

I did not know Mr Lee personally, but my husband Doyle did. He helped the Michelfelders cut and bale hay and got to know Mr Lee through them.  Doyle always spoke very highly of him and often talked about what a good man he was.   I’m sure you have wonderful memories of him and they will comfort you much in this time of sorrow. Praying for peace for your family. 

The favorite part of my week was walking across the road to visit Mr. Lee.
He loved to tell me stories of old Hanceville, his days working on the railroad, and the very deep love he had for his entire family. 
Mr. Lee always spoke of how much he loved Francis and how proud he was of Kaye, Vickie and Gina.
I will truly miss my friend Mr. Lee and I'm grateful that I had the chance to know such a fine, funny and wise man.

Every memory that I have of Sundays at Bethlehem when we were growing up, are the parents of our little group of friends. We were a small group, so the closeness was more than most get to enjoy.   My mother, Frances and Roy, Reba and Mac, Sid and Mae,  Henry and Laverne, Hester and Jewel, Bob and Glenda.  Miss those times at your house and the times we spent together. Glad we have these times in our past, sure makes the future brighter because of them.  Roy was a bright spot in so many peoples lives, his kindness and humor were his trademark. Love all of you

Joan Ballard Cole, suffering from dementia, has one clear memory
for which I am proud. The memory is Roy Lee. So important to the Ballard family. Thank you, Roy Lee, for your friendship with Joan Ballard Cole.

Kaye, Vickie, and Regina, many memories flood my mind as I think of your mom and dad. There were countless Sunday afternoon meals at your house and even some when I “helped” your dad hoe his cotton.  Recently I saw your dad at church when I was visiting Mom and I was helping him out of his car.  He said thank you and I told him no thanks was necessary because he sure put me in and took me out of his car enough times when we were all growing up.  It would be hard to find better men than my daddy and Roy.  Sure gonna miss seeing him at church when I visit.  Love you all.

I am so sorry for your loss.  The love of a grandparent is a special thing.  Try to take comfort in the memories of the times you had and know that the grandparent love is forever, so continue to feel comfort in that love.  Praying for you and your family during this difficult time.
