Tank and family I was so sorry to turn on the computer to see you all had lost Leon. I am so sorry that I could not be there for you but I am so sick. I also wanted to say that I did not know until way after the fact that we had lost my other buddies, Robert and Ken. Man that was a real shocker too. Please send my regards on to their families. I thought the world of all these guys and working with Ken and Robert was a big hoot to boot. My prayers are with you all.
Love In Christ,
Linda G. Williams

Mr. T,
I never saw you without you having a smile ready to share. You and Mrs. T. made this shy teenager always feel welcomed in your home while hanging out/growing up with your three girls. I keep those sweet memories close to my heart. I know Mrs. Rachel was ready to meet you at Heaven's Gate. I pray for God's comfort now for your daughters, family and friends.
Deepest Heartfelt Condolences,
Shelia

I thought the world of Mr. "T". He was such a good, fun loving man! He always had a joke to tell and made you laugh.
I love you Mr. T. You will be missed by everyone.
