Lottie and family, Leroy was such an inspiration to all of us. He added so much to our Sunday school class and will be missed. He had great knowledge of the Bible. You all have been missed during his illness. Praying for your peace and comfort in the days ahead. Love you. Donna Gafford

I was very sad to read of Leroy's passing.
You and Leroy were such a bright spot in the choir. I enjoyed getting to know y'all and singing with you both.
Please know that if I were in town I would be there to personally support and hug you. You are in my prayers for God's strength and peace.
Love through Christ,
