I'm Pierce and Nellie Brown's daughter, Phyllis. I grew up knowing Sammie Lee and his mother Mossey(sp) and his grandmother, Helen and granddad, Lan and always felt like they were family. Mama Helen and Lan lived in the house I was born in and he (Sammie Lee) helped to keep it up for them. He was always respected by all of the people in Cavins and I'm sure by all the people that he ever had contact with. He will be greatly missed by his family as well as those who knew him. I've been away from Cavins for over 49 years but I've still kept up on Mama Helen and Lan's family. God bless all of you.
