Not sure what to say?

Our heart goes out to you during your time of sorrow, but we rejoice in knowing we shall all be united in the hereafter. Mr. Leon was, like my dad, one of the kindest, easy-going, men I've ever known. They didn't have much to say, but when they did, you listened. They are both missed, but we will see them again. Love and miss you.

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

I met Uncle Leon when I married his nephew Tony in 1966, he was one of the finest men that I have ever met and he and Aunt Hazel were so very good to me after Tony was killed and my daughter Toni Faye was left without a Father and I was left without my husband.Leon Reese Sr. was the worlds example of a Godly man. R.I.P Uncle Leon

I'm thankful to have a Marine brother like Leon, but even more thankful that in him I also have a brother in Jesus. Notice I have been using the present tense, not by mistake, but by sure faith in the promises of God. Leon, I'll be seeing you! Praise God.
(from a fellow member of the H.M. Smith Detachment of the Marine Corps League)

Our hearts and prayers go out the entire Resse family.
Leon Sr was great man who set an example on everything he was involed with.
We love you all,
Pat and Preston Lawley
