Barb and family my heart broke hearing this news. I had reconnected with LeRoy and it was a blessing from God. I will never forget how he treated me like a son during my time in Yuma and beyond. May He rest in peace with Jesus. God bless y'all.

With love,
Chris

I am deeply saddened to learn of Leroy's death. I enjoyed working with him and teasing him (vice versa) while I was in Yuma. He was a blessing to our school and church. He's gotten to be in heaven. :):)
