Jim, Cumi and Family:
We share the loss of your loved one. He was so special to many people at Starnes Cove Church as well as the community. He was the christian example that we should all follow and the world would be a much better place.
The greatest Great-Uncle ever. We know you liked all kinds of cake and now you will have angel-food cake. We miss you.
Bob & Mary Hamilton and family

We have very fond memories of Mr. London . He was such an assest to Starnes Cove Baptist Church while we were there. We are remembering your family in our prayers.
I am sorry for your loss , Lee will be greatly missed . I took care of him for quite some time and grew quite fond of him . I will always love him and hold his memory in my heart .
Jim and Family;
I am very sorry to learn of Lee’s passing. I have a lot of memories of Lee from Biltmore Dairy. Although I had not seen Lee sense the Dairy sold out and have not seen you sense I was driving for Morgan and you were with Harris, I still remember you both. I wish I had known Lee was at Pisgah, I would have visited him. I had two relatives there over the past 3 years.
I am sure Lee will be missed by many.
Jim, if I can be of any help, please get in touch.
