Marty, my prayers and thoughts have been with you and your family during this time of loss.. you will see your parents again in Heaven.

Prayers and Condolences to the family. M.A.Wells & Family

Arthur Lee will be missed at the Mack Gaston Community Center. He was as constant as a cup of morning coffee. Visiting us to get his bag of ice or stopping by to say his usual line "I wish I had a job that easy...can I get one". We'd ask him to get us a biscuit, he'd say "Jax don't open until 10". He will be remembered for his witty sarcasm, talents, and kindness. May the peace of God manifest supernaturally with the Broome family.
