Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Oh dear Joyce, I will be thinking and praying for from my own widows heart. We discover just how much we had succeeded at oneness (even to our surprise) when half of us leaves for heaven! I cant imagine experiencing this tearing of soul another 40 yrs down the road. I remember Lee’s laugh and smile that communicated his big heart. Such a precious brother! You 2 made a crazy but beautiful match. Praying you have extra grace to sense the nearness of the Shepherd especially in this initial stretch where to avoid seems so glaring. Love you dear sister. So grateful for the season I got to know you both and be blessed by your faithfulness!
To the family, my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Please find comfort in the knowledge that God promises to end all suffering. Before long, God will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things (will) have passed away.(Rev. 213,4). May this promise from God give you comfort now and a real hope for the future. My deepest sympathy.
Dear Family and Joyce! I am so sorry for your loss! We loved this guy so much!! He was the father figure I will always cherish! Love Gretchen! and Fritz too!
Lee and Joyce had such a huge impact on my life when I was in a very dark place. Thank you for serving for so many years at His Mansion. And I’m praying for the family during this time.

Dean Brennan has started a new His Mansion page on Facebook for 1996-1997 alumni. Many have shared gratitude for Lee. Would you like to access his Facebook to see them (or has Lee’s account been hacked since Jim Difino just got a recent friend request). Or I could scan or print them and send them to you. Your precious Lee was well loved! Praying for you sister. ❤ Deb ps – I just left you a voicemail

Lee and Joyce were like parents to me. They had a profound impact on my life. I think of them often and never will forget everything they did for me when I lived with them in Dixfield, Maine. Their love for Jesus was the biggest thing that I will always remember. My condolences to the family. I’m just hearing about Lee’s passing at this moment.
