I met Mr. Lee delivering crawfish to me here in Shreveport a few years back and this year I had some medical issues and Mr. Lee stopped and prayed with me on two different occasions and it made me feel so good and I'm doing better with my health. what a wonderful man he was God be with him.
I extend heart-felt condolences to Marjorie, the Citizen's family & friends. May your love & memories carry you all through this difficult time. God be with each of you today & always. "Lee" was a good friend who always wore a smile. I am saddened by your loss & will cherish knowing him. Hugs & prayers from our hearts to yours. ~ Freda & "Buckey"
I met Lee about 10 or so yrs ago when he brought crawfish to us for the first time for Jeremy. Right away I could tell that man had a work ethic like no other and he was just a good hearted/spirited person. He would always come in with a smile and was always so friendly like we had been friends our whole life. There is no doubt he was believer and he made it to be with the Lord . Prayers to all of his family during this time
Brother Lee was like a father to me and a great man of god . I remember the youth team that he had start at church and when I was big pregnant with my daughter. I would cry to my mom to bring me to go meet him and his wife . God you have gain a great angel . FLY HIGH Brother Lee
