Leo's Family,
We all were sad about Leo's passing.
I remember Leo as a kid playing basketball. He played hard but he was always fair and greeted you with a smile win or lose.

Our Deepest Sympathy to our extended family.
Our Lives are in God's loving hands, in everything we do. He is with us constantly, and He sees us through.
And, if our FAITH is strong enough, We will never walk alone. For with his great and perfect love, He takes care of his own.
So, as For me and My house, We will serve the Lord.
Count your blessings, instead of your crosses
Count your gains, instead of your losses
Count your courage instead of your fears
Count your laughs instead of your tears
Count your full years, instead of your lean
Count your kind deeds instead of your means
Count your health, instead of your wealth
Count on GOD instead of yourself.
GOD BLESS AND KEEP EACH OF YOU STEADFAST.
LAMONT, MY SON-IN-LAW, WE LOVE YOU, BUT GOD LOVED YOUR FATHER BEST.
Your Father-Mother-In-Law

To the family of Leo.Hardy,I 1st met Leo when I was a 9th grader at Southwestern High School.Leo was a basketball star at Riverview High School,he was a great player,a fierce competitor, a player who always gave his best at all times.Joel Copeland Southwestern`s star player and Hardy became good friends and they both played collegiately for ODU university .I would occasionly see Leo,along with Joel at family functions and friendly gathering.Leo always gave his best and loved family and friends.God has accepted him in everyway.I always saw him as brave man who was not afraid to stand up for what he believed.I know he will be missed here but welcomed into God`s kingdom.This William Shakespeare poem reminded me of Leo, a man who loved life but did not fear death.Cowards die many times before their death.The brave only taste of death but once.Of all the wonders that I yet have heared,it seems to me most strange that men should fear death,seeing death a necessay end,will come when it will come.God bless you,and keep you, in your going out and your coming in.In your laughter and in your sorrow,until that day when there is no dawning and no tomorrow. Sorrowfully Submitted Melvin Morings.
