Thomas Lee Obituary

To the Lee Family: I had just heard of the passing of your mom and dad. They were both wonderful people and i am saddened by their deaths. I have many fond memories of Mrs. Lee. Although its almost a year later you are all in my prayers and thoughts.

Shay and Megan, you are two of the most wonderful people we know. You are always so kind when Finvola and I visit chicago. Megan, your Mum and Dad were equally kind. Shay, you are lucky to have married into such a nice family. We are thinking about you all everyday.

We are deeply sorrowed at the loss of our dear friends. Tom was someone that was there for me when I needed help. His stories, his wit and his attention to what needed to be done were the hallmarks of my respect for him. I can hear his voice reassuring me when I thought the chips were stacked against us, his confidence was addictive. A piece of Tom lies deep in my heart for times that I need a helping hand. Laurie and I will always remember our time together with this great friend.

We'll miss Tessie and Tom. They are in our prayers,
Marie Elias (Sievers)

Words can not express the sorrow we share for your loss. I will cherish the memories I have of Tom from all those years we worked together at Hoffend Xposition. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Lee Family...my family and I send our deepest sympathy to you during this time. I'm not sure if you remember us but we lived across the street from you on Ramona. I used to babysit for all of you when you were little. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear family of Tom and Tess,
Please accept my sympathy in your time of loss. My mother was one of 12 children(Lauretta Graves)who grew up with Eddie Lee on Orleans Ave in Cleveland. I heard lots of stories about Eddie Lee practically living at my grandmothers house. I had the privlidge of meeting him at my mother's wake 24 years ago. He told me that all he ever wanted was a big family and how glad he was that wish came true. So now in your time of sorrow you have so many to reach out to. Please know that you will all be in my thought and prayers.

Tom and family,

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your entire family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of grief.

Megan, Mike, Eddie, Brendan, Tom, Dad, MaryAnne & Tommy...
I am so entirely sorry, I love you all so much. Aunt Tess was kind enough to become my Godmother when we moved to this country, it touched me so much that she did that, that I asked her to become my daughters Godmother as well. She didn't have to do it, she did it because she has, and still has a loving soul. I had the best time with Aunt Tess & Uncle Tommy on the cruise that we all took, I had breakfast with Uncle Tommy almost every morning & we would talk for hours. I spent one whole evening of the cruise hanging out in Tess' room having girl talk. I'm so happy we did that, it was one of the last times I got to see her. I'm so very torn up over this...half with my own grief, and half for yours. I love you all so much.

Ed, Liz and Jackie,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow.

Are thoughts and our prayers are with the Lee family.

Dear Children of Tom and Tessie,
Our children are the the legacy we leave on earth when we pass on and you all are an awesome legacy.... they are so proud of your strength, love, and courage. The past few days have shown all of us the greatness in their legacy. You are in our prayers and thoughts...

Liz and Ed,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Your parents are wonderful people and will be thought of often.
