Rest in peace my friend. On behalf of all the Forrest family, I send my sympathy and remembrance to all the Frankmore family. I knew Lee for over twenty five years. We worked together at the Broadmoor for many years. Lee will live on in the memories of all who knew him. He was a friend of countless guests and many employees at the Broadmoor. I know that all of them will cherish their time spent with him.

May God bless Lee and Martha and all the Frankmore family
