It was a joy to serve the Lord with Lee! He was a dear Brother and Friend. We also had some great times together discussing the Word and talking around the golf course although mostly I came in second on the scorecard! It was an honor & privilege to be His and his beautiful wife’s Pastor for awhile. *Pastor Artie Burnett
