Diane when we heard the news of Leon. Our hearts went out to you. Then I thought to my self TO BE ABSENT IN BODY IS TO BE PRESENT
WITH THE LORD. What a beautiful and comforting thing to know. And we know Leon was a child of God. And I can just vision Leon walking in this marvelous light towards God . And Jesus has his Arms streched wide open to welcome him. I know we will see him again. When we all get to heaven what a time . So we will think of Leon on his vacation with Jesus and we will join him in time. After all Leon can't crown King Jesus until we get there. You have been a faithful and devoted wife and God will calm this storm. Now give God some praise for the time he gave the two of you together. Be blessed in Jesus name!

When hearing the news of your death, I immediately thought of your children, whom I know you love dearly. God does not make mistakes and he needed you with him. Your children will be okay. I told them that it will hurt and hurt for a long time, but God will pull them through. I am so glad that Leticia bought them up in the church. They know that they can turn to the Lord and family members for support. Rest in Peace,

Miss Peanut (as you called me so many many times)
