There is a time to be born and a time to die. God must have needed Gary to work on His streets paved with gold. If anyone can handle the job it would be Gary. Rest in peace.

I know everyone feels this is a huge mistake but we should all remember we are all part of God's huge plans and he probably needed some more paved streets made of Gold and if anyone could do that it would have been Gary. I will pray for the Leonard Family to find peace within theirselves in their time of sorrow, God heals all wounds. Rest in Peace Gary.
