This will be the first of many Father's Days for the Lee family without their beloved father, Tom. For them, Father's Day will forever be a day of remembrance and an opportunity to honor their father's memory.
The Lee children's lives and their love for the Lord is a lasting testament to their father. We can testify that their hearts are grateful to the Lord as they trust fully in Him, their faces are radiant as they look to Him, and their steps are confident as they walk in obedience to Him. These are lessons they learned from their father and daily observed in his life. He set before them a godly example of a life lived in absolute devotion to the Lord. It has been said that if you know the Lee children and observe their character, you will have seen and known Tom Lee. His legacy of Christ-likeness is lived out in the lives of his thirteen precious children.
Tom Lee was not only a self-sacrificing husband to his wife, Sherry, and an exemplary father to his children, but his life was a demonstration of the Gospel of Christ to many of us who had the privilege of calling him friend. Happy Father's Day, Tom. We miss you but we are grateful to the Lord for your life and for the privilege we had of knowing you and learning from your quiet, humble example. We are blessed and our lives are richer because of time spent with you and your family.
