For the entire Leavell family,
As Kevin and I sat in the family room at the hospice, looking around at all the young life and loving parents and grandparents, we discussed how that was truly a testament to the love of Grandma and Grandpa and the wonderful family they helped in creating. God bless you all in this time of great loss.
