One of the most honest, kind, and gentle men I have ever known.  Thanks for sharing him with us.  We will miss him greatly!

Lee will be missed and remembered.  His goodness, kindness, welcoming, and interesting conversations were always special.  Lee was absolutely an honorable man, to be revered, respected, admired, and loved.  Our deepest sympathies to Shirley, their children and the entire family.

I am sorry for your loss.  Lee was a gentle giant and a kind and amazing man.  His smile and spirit will be missed.  May God be with the Carlson family until you are reunited with him.

Shirley and all the loving Carlsons,

What is this thing that men call death?
 This quiet passing in the night?
 ‘Tis not the end but genesis
 Of better worlds and greater light
 
O God, touch Thou my aching heart
 And calm my troubled, haunting fears
 Let hope and faith, transcendent, pure
 Give strength and peace beyond my tears.
 
There is no death, but only change
 With recompense for vict'ry won
 The gift of Him who loved all men
 The Son of God, the Holy One.

Welcome Home Grandpa Lee. This is not goodbye. However, I'll see you later. All along I will miss the man that showed his family and the world so much tenderness.

With Love,
Liana

Craig, Clarke and the entire Carlson family,

My heartfelt sympathy for the loss of your father.  What a legacy he has in all of you whom I'm sure made him very proud.  I'm sure you will miss him tremendously.

Sincerely, Dawn Hessheimer

Sorry for your loss, Shirley.  I want you to know how much I appreciated your influence in my life.   I am especially thankful for all the rides you gave me to MIA in the old red schoolhouse.  If not for you I would not have been able to attend.  I pray the Lord will comfort you and your family.   Irene Hess Baker

Sorry about your loss.  The gospel does help.  Janet sent this to me.  I want to send my love to the family.   Gerald Hess
