Nancy, Greg and family, I’m so sorry you lost your Momma and grandmother. I was not blessed to meet her, but feel like I knew her from all the words of wisdom she passed on to you. Nan, you would often say my Mother or Daddy always told me…! You had wonderful, Godly parents and their example was passed onto you. My prayers for your peace!

I first met Linda and Leon in 1970 through a business connection. Leon, Linda and my wife, Jill, quickly became friends. We traveled to Europe together, enjoyed good times at their lake house in Hot Springs the house in Little Rock, and , many parties and gatherings. The
things which come immediately to mind are, she reveled in being a feisty redhead and the life of the party, but more importantly she supported Leon in all ways possible and was completely devoted to him throughout her entire life and that continued for as long as she was on this earth. She loved all her children with all her heart, and each grandchild was the apple of her eye. She was a good woman who knew how to love, laugh and love Jesus. She will be missed by all who knew her, but never forgotten. You are all in my prayers at this difficult time.
