Bro. Leonard was a faithful deacon, dedicated Sunday School teacher, and special friend during the 24 years we were at Wakefield/Village Creek. He was always very supportive of his pastor.
We are saddened by his death but rejoice that he is now with the Lord.
Sorry we are out of town and unable to attend his funeral service.

To the children of Leonard, I was sadden to learn of his passing. He lived a good long life and lived it well. May God put his arms of strength and love around each one of you during this difficult time. I know you have many happy memories. The one thing you can look forward to is meeting your Mom and Day one day in heaven. The angels certainly came and got a very devoted Christian man. Prayers for you all.
