We used to attend Gospel singings in the Trinity, Glendale and Groveton area and would meet up with Leo and his precious wife Nell, they were always such a delight to be around. I miss the singings now that my mom and stepdad have passed away.

Lord our pray now is that you will give the family comfort and peace.
