My uncle Derrell Lee was always so cheerful whenever I saw him or spoke to him! He knew each of his nieces and nephews by name and always addressed each one of us no matter how many were in the room! I am definitely going to miss him calling Grandma's house on Thanksgiving and Christmas saying "number 8 checking in!" He was so friendly and his love for his family was always apparent! You will be missed but your memory will last for ever! ~Kimberly
