Sorry for the loss of Preacher Lockee. My prayers are with you and your family.
My deepest of sympathies to you Reggie and family! I remember back to special memories growing up at West Lenoir Baptist Church! What a Legacy Pastor Lockee left behind! I remember once when momma had us around our couch praying and they had each prayed for preacher and other things. I was very little and couldn’t remember what words to say, so I simply said, “Lord, help Preacher Lockee do his stuff!” Momma told Preacher Lockee what I said and he laughed with his wrinkled up nose! I loved his laugh! He will greatly be missed! I’m so thankful that I got to sit under his preaching! Praying for you all and love you!
