I could go on and on about the great things about Junior but most important the fact that he was a true man of God, a man that truly loved God and his family and his friends. A sad time for us left behind but I can just imagine what a wonderful reception there was waiting for him when he entered Heaven to meet face to face with the Lord and all of his family that has gone on before him. What a happy day when we can all be together again !
Lee went with my son, Brent, and me to the mortuary when my first husband, Jarrell, Lee's brother, passed away. His suggestions were a god-send at a time when we were dealing with Jarrell's sudden death on Thanksgiving day. Everyone should have the blessing of direction from a godly man in difficult times. Thank you, Lee, for your caring support.
I will never forget when Junior came over to our home the day after we lost our son, Bryan his second cousin. He was so comforting, his visit was a blessing. Now, He is in Heaven with his Savior, family and friends. Heaven got a sweeter the other day!
Junior was such a lovely man, and a dear and special family friend. Our lives were blessed for having known him. We will always be grateful for the beautiful funeral service he officiated for our daddy, Bobby James, almost twenty years ago. God has received a precious angel.
Our love and prayers to you, Rosie.
Sincerely,
Janet (James) and Dick Kice
Steve and I offer our sincere condolences to Junior's family.

Uncle Lee will be missed. He was a kind and patient man who had a heart of gold. I never heard him put anyone down or say an unkind word about anyone. What a testament to a man who practiced what he preached!
