Leonard was a beautiful person with a beautiful soul. May he rest in peace with the Lord. I can picture him rapping amongst the saints. He will truly be missed by everyone...he left a permanent impression with those he came in contact with.

Candy, sorry I couldn't make the funeral. Just want you to know that Leonard was loved by many... and so are you and your family. May God continue to bless and keep you all in this time of sorrow.

Leonard's family is in my prayers of my family. His grandmother and my mother were dear friends. I can imagine this is a very trying time, but God knows best. Be strong and turn to the Lord. Gina M. (Kelsh) Sanford
