Leon Boone Memoriam

In Loving Memory of Leon Elmore BOONE
My Father My Hero Dad
You are my hero in so many ways and I am so grateful to you. I have such respect for the man that you are and the wonderful things that you do. You have a heart as big as an ocean. A soft side you don't often show. All of your life you worked for your family. You taught me and helped me to grow. You were the man I knew I could lean on, who fostered a strong sense of pride. The Father who gave me his love and affection and always remained by my side. All of my life, Dad, I will be thankful. That I had a father so true. I never had to search for a hero The hero in my life was you.
