Genevieve and Family:
The Lord is near to all who call upon him…Psalm 145:18
May God who watches over us
And hears us when we pray,
Be very near to give you strength
and comfort you today ---
May he bless and keep you
within his loving care,
And may it help you just to know
that He is always there.
Love and Prayers

I think this is the Leroy I remember from Stephens-Lee. He was a grade ahead of me. I remember being glad to see him come to parties in high school because he was a very good dancer and I would get to dance with him. I have very fond memories of him. Your family has my deepest sympathy.
