I very often think about Lee Arthur. He was always very good to me and treated me like family. I considered him family as well. We lost touch when we moved to Sugar Hill, GA in 2014 and I only learned today about his passing. My heart is deeply saddened and I feel like I let him down not being there for him. The Williams family will always be in our thoughts and prayers.
