We were very sorry to hear of Leona's passing. We always saw her at the nursing home when visiting Charles' mother. I will always remember the times talking to her at Belk. She was a very special lady. May God keep his loving arms around you and Scott during this time. Charles (Mullet) and Debra Poston (Hannah, SC)
