To Lee’s daughters and sons and the rest of his family, I can’t imagine the loss that you are feeling right now. This has laid heavy on my heart all weekend so I know your pain is triple. My prayers have been with you and will continue to be with you. Your dad loved you kids so much and he loved each and every one of the rest of his family. Your dad was a good man who loved the Lord! We will miss him in the church and it’s going to be hard going to church this morning and not seeing his smiling face to greet us and will miss his Sunday School teaching, his handing us our envelopes we will even miss.
We will mourn for him and miss him but Lee was prepared for this journey and we can take comfort knowing that after he took his last breathe he was in the presence of the Lord! And we can see him again one day!
God Bless you and you will always be in my prayers!
I am sorry I will be out of town Monday but my prayers and thoughts will be with you!

To Lee’s sons and daughters: My condolences and prayers are with you all this morning and I’m so sorry for the loss of your father. I am a member of his church and it’s going to be so hard going in there this morning and not seeing him at the door waiting for us all, and cutting up. He was a faithful, loyal and wonderful worker in our church and a good friend. He will be missed greatly. I know he’s in Heaven now with our Lord! I’ll keep you all uplifted in prayer for comfort in your time of grief.
I was so sad to hear of Lee’s passing. He was a great guy. Love to you all. Kathy, Heather and Jennifer.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
So sorry to see one of my classmates has passed. I went to Biltmore School with Lee. We graduated out of 8th grade together. He was a very nice person.
May God Bless all the family.

Johnny loved playing golf with Lee and Bob, We went to church with Lee many years at the Biltmore Holiness Temple. Lee and I attended Biltmore School together many years ago and our paths had crossed again when we started attending the same church. Our prayers and thoughts are with all the children, brothers and sisters and especially with Sister Edna at this time. Betty Grooms Lowe and John Lowe.
