Cousin Lee, last night as I was getting ready for bed, I received a phone call informing me about your sad passing and going to that glorious place in the sky to be with your mom and dad and our glorious Saviour Jesus Christ. Tears came out as I remember our fun times when we were kids and trying to outdo each other. As older teens we served as warriors in that war torn land of South Vietnam. As adults we each started our families and grew apart but I never forgot my favorite cousin Lee. During the last six months I have been thinking a lot about you and wondering if you were alright. I have composed a book about our family history and the name Araiza. You are in it along with a photo of your time as a Marine. I'll miss you terribly, cousin. Semper-Fi Marine. With a broken heart, your cousin Alfred. Rest in Peace.
My sweet Tio Lee, I miss you so much! As the days get closer to our final Good-bye the harder it seems. I’ll cherish the memories, the laughs & all the stories you shared with me tio. I wish I could turn back time just to see you again. To tell you I love you one last time. Watch over us tio. This isn’t good bye tio. Love you forever & ever!

I've been trying to put into words what to say but losing someone that is so dear to my heart hurts. Never was I expecting this to come so soon. I miss you, tio! I know you are living it up in heaven but down here you are dearly missed. Thank you tio, for always being so good to me. May you Rest in paradise until we meet again! I love you forever
Love always,
Sara Aka your favorite!
Lee, thank you for being such a great, cool, and loving Suegro to me!! I'll forever cherish the times we watched the cowboys, spurs, super bowls, boxing matches, and you going with me to the movie theater while I was "lit" to watch Star Wars movies while enjoying our popcorn and cokes. Importantly, thank you for your service to our country as a United States Marine!! Most of all, thank you for accepting me to share my life with Letty and the kids. Lee, this ain't by no means a good-by, but simply I'll see you later!! Love, Freddy.
I still can't believe you're gone, babe. I was very young when we met and got married, and you were never selfish. You never stopped me from growing up, instead, you pushed me to go to school and set no limits for me to grow and pursue my dreams. You always told me you were preparing me for this day, Even though I'm feeling lost, I want to say thank you for all you've done for me and our beautiful family, babe. I see your recliner, and it's empty now, but I know you're in a better place. I see your favorite cup, and I know you're drinking from a cup that's filled with joy and love. I see your clothes, your shoes, but I know you're wearing beautiful cloth a crown of glory now. I see an empty seat next to me, but I know yours is now reserved for you in heaven. When we would walk together, I would see two shadows walking side by side, holding hands or as I was pushing you on your wheelchair, but now I only see one shadow, I know you're still walking with me in spirit. I will see one shadow walking alone for the rest of my life, but I know I'll be reunited with you again in the kingdom of heaven. Now that you're gone, I am lost for words you told me that your body was tired, but your mind wasn’t you would continue living if you could. I know you're pain-free and not suffering anymore, babe and with that I take comfort as I saw the suffering you endured. Now you can run, jump, walk freely, and never have to worry about your sickness ever again. I am so hurt that you're gone, but knowing that you're pain-free, I am happy but sad, knowing we won't see nor talk or hold each other ever again. I know you've always told me to be strong and not let anyone talk down nor disrespect or do us wrong, and if anyone did, to put them in their place and never waste my time with people who didn't value us. You told me to always follow my heart and do right for those who do right for us, and to take care of all of our babies and make sure they're always safe and away from harm especially that we experience the most painful horrific experience that wouldn’t want our own enemies to go through. I promise I will make sure all of our babies are taken care of and safe and away from harm, babe. I know you would always tell me to first take care of myself, because before I can take care of others, I need to take care of me. and I will, babe. The love I have for you I promise to see that through I miss you so much that it hurts my soul, and I'm going to miss you forever and for the rest of my life, but I know one day we'll see each other again and reunite and be happy again and do our crazy things and have our long talks and walks and hold each other again. We were one of a kind, baby. We could be in a crowded room, and when we would see each other across that crowded room, just with our eyes, we would say to each other, 'Love you' and smile. I have to Thank you for everything you've done for me and our beautiful family, babe. RIP, and have fun and hang out with all of our loved ones who have been called home to be with our Lord. Until we meet again, babe. It was an honor and pleasure being your wife and to have you as my husband father of our beautiful girls grandfather of our beautiful grandchildren, and great grandfather of our great grandchildren .You are truly going to be missed by us all our beautiful angel is in heaven now, my Babe Lee Araiza Love and miss you forever, Your wife Sandra Lee Araiza ❤️😭
