Cleo, I am so sorry about your loss. I know what you are going through. We talked many times since Bill passed. Leonard was a favorite of ours when he came into the office. I will definitely miss his smile and quiet manner. My sincere sympathy goes out to you and your daughter.

Cleo, Stewart and I were very sorry to hear of the loss of your dear husband. I will remember him stopping in the sewing room to check on you or go for lunch.
Our Heavenly Father Jehovah yearns to bring the dead back to life again. Job asked: If and ablebodied man dies, can he live again? He said to Jehovah, "You will call and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning, Job 14:13-15.
