When the sunny skies turn from blue to gray, I can't help but wonder just what you would say? I wonder if you know how many lives you have touched, Do you know that people here love you so much? Can you even know how many dreams you made come true, Or if you can hear the voices saying I love you? Do you know how many lives you have changed, And how many lives you completely rearranged? I wish I could have just one more year, Because I can't picture the rest of my life without you here. Just another chance to spend the night, and share a laugh, Another day of school with you is what I'd like to have. Do you know you'll be greatly missed by us all? Just one more time I want to hear you're voice when I call. Just one more laugh, one more time to see you walk through the door Another smile, another story, another hug, another day...Just one more.

My deepest sympathy to the family for your loss. Lee was a good friend to my dad, John Holiman, for many years. May their friendship carry on in heaven now. God bless.

Lee loved Holiday Villages and the people there. They also loved him! He was so proud of the house he built and showed me pictures of the inside including a room for his cats! Lee never met a stranger and is already being missed.

How could I have known on that spring day that in a flash of an eye you would be taken away leaving so many words left to say. But now it's too late, for your time has come leaving words unspoken, I'm sure everyone has some. Regrets and wishes are probabIy there too, but lasting forever are my memories of you. As I go through all my old photographs I study each one carefully replaying the memories in my mind looking for clues of what the future would hold and the heartache it has left behind. I think about the joy, laughter and tears see your face and trying not to have any fears. I close my eyes and take a deep breath, but once again I start thinking about your death. I know you will always be in my heart, for all the memories we share nothing can part. Our family gatherings and Christmas parties we will be one person short, but most of all I miss seeing your face as you read that special Birthday Card, Our time in the swing on your porch, has been cut short for a moment how quickly our bright lives has turn dark. So carefree and not knowing how soon happiness would be out of our reach My pictures are worth a million words as I look thru them, my eyes are flooded with tears. On the days my happiness is overcome by sadness and fear my photos are my comfort and for this I will hold them dear. So until the day I shall see you again your memories I will hold onto untill the very end. J. Lee You're in our hearts and memories We will love you always

On Saturday, March 29th 2014, our lives changed forever. The words no mother or sister or any relative should ever have to hear were brought upon us. A beloved son, brother, uncle, cousin, dad and friend was taken from us too quickly. Uncle J. Lee was a one of a kind person. He was always so outgoing and friendly. He gave so much love, laughter and life to all he knew. Uncle J. Lee, there are no words to describe the pain that is weighing on our hearts. Things will never be the same now that you are gone. You will live on forever in our hearts. We will always have the memories you have left us with. The memories of you drumming, Daddy singing and playing music and everyone else dancing in your music room, memories of how quickly you could make all the kids cry by just talking to them (not meaning to of course), and the memories of all the love you gave to us all. We have lost a great man and heaven has gained a special Angel. Although our hearts are hurting without you here we can find peace in knowing that you are in a better place drumming away. So as we close, we want to share these words with you from a song that will remind us of you always. 'Dancing in the Sky' ...What does it look like in Heaven? Is it peaceful, is it free like they say? Does the sun shine bright forever? Have your fears and your pain gone away? Cause here on Earth it feels like everything good is missing since you left and here on Earth everything's different, there's an emptiness. O, O, I, I hope your dancing in the sky. And I hope your singing in the Angel's choir. I hope the Angels know what they have. I bet it's so nice up in Heaven since you arrived. Tell me what do you do up in Heaven? Are your days filled with love and light? Is there music, is there art and invention? Tell me are you happy, are you more alive? Cause here on Earth it feels like everything good is missing since you left. And here on Earth everything's different, there's an emptiness. O, O, I, I hope your dancing in the sky. I hope your singing in the Angel's choir. I hope the Angels know what they have. I bet it's so nice up in Heaven since you arrived... Rest in Peace Uncle J. Lee, you are forever in our hearts. We love you! Gone but never forgotten!

God took one of His greatest angels home. He will be missed by all that knew him. Lee was an amazing man who cared for all and especially those he loved. Anyone that was fortunate to have met and know Lee Nugent was blessed. Lee never did anything half way, he gave everything his best. He was quiet,gentle and very kind
