Lee, You meant a lot to me. We talked so much on video chat and laughed about the days when we were younger & growing up next door to each other. You had such a wonderful caring heart & it´s so hard to believe that your time here with us gone. Who what of thought that Tuesday was the last time I would have heard from you.? You were loved by so many especially me.
To the Brodman family, there are no words to express the hurt of loosing Lee. I know many say " I´m sorry for your loss " but to life on earth is short. Heaven is eternity & I know I believe in my in heart that God is holding you all during this time. I´m always here for all of you. I know what it´s like to loose a brother and see my mother loose a son because it wasn´t too long ago when we did too. You guys were like family growing up and know that I love you all so very much. So with my deepest sympathy and prayers fly high Lee Boy till we meet again.
Love, Summer Luna-Gerschutz

Lee,
You meant a lot to me. We talked so much on video chat and laughed about the days when we were younger & growing up next door to each other. You had such a wonderful caring heart & it´s so hard to believe that your time here with us gone. Who what of thought that Tuesday was the last time I would have heard from you.? Just know that you were very much loved not only by friends and family but Also me. So you fly high, no more worries, & rest peacefully.
Brodman family; I´ve known you all since I was a little girl who just moved from California. Many say sorry but I can´t seem to find the words to help with the heartache. All I can say is god is holding you all & the grief is short because heaven is eternity & reunited with our family up there is forever, with no pain, no heartache, no problems etc.. but I send you all my condolences, so much love, and I´m here if any of you need someone to talk to because I know myself what it´s like to loose a brother and watch my mother hurt over loosing a son. I love you all very much.

I loved Lee like a brother. I will always remember going to Cedar Point with Lee, April, and all the siblings for Pointfest. I had the time of my life that day. Lee made me feel loved, and you all made me feel like family. I would love to stay in contact with April and the kids. I will always feel a connection there because of my brotherly love for Lee. You can find me at Bill William Dean Sparks on Facebook. I had to change my account. I´ll explain that at another time. Praying for God´s peace and comfort for you all. Much love to you!
