Gregory E. Leonard

Happy Heavenly Birthday my beloved brother Greg. I miss you beyond words as I celebrate your life and legacy on this special day. I know the family is celebrating and shaking the heavens in your honor. I miss Mom so much but her spirit is present with me. Thank God for memories which sustain us all until we reunite. Rhonda and I were just saying how the holidays feel so empty without all of you that have transitioned. It's just not the same and we all need to plan a family reunion so we can feel some sense of familial bond and create new family memories. I'm going to reach out to the cousins and try to make it happen! I love you beyond words, kiss and hug Mom for me.

Greetings family and friends,
It's been 24 years since Greg's transition. I don't know how October 2nd escaped me because not a day goes by that your not in my thoughts. I miss Mom beyond words but I know she's with you and no longer suffering. There's such a void with all of our aunts and uncles passing. Pittsburgh is not the same with everybody gone. I talk to Chucky often, he really misses you. He always says were are the next generation, we are the ones that are left. I know the heavens are rocking with all of you rejoicing. Please continue to watch after us here on earth. We truly need your protection as this world is not like it used to be. Sending my love to all the ancestors!

Shelly

Happy Heavenly Birthday my dear brother. I miss you so much especially your boyish grin and the laughter we shared as kids and adults. I know you continue to protect me, your presence is strongly felt always. I miss Mom so much ! I think about you two daily. Mom was my everything and the void is real. It brings me peace knowing she is with the family and no longer suffering from her illness however she was a big part of my life being that I cared for her for the past ten years. We had a great relationship, I could talk to Mom about anything and I really miss her wisdom, wittiness, and her sense of humor. I'm sure you all are having a heavenly grand time, shaking the heavens! We spent Chrismas with Betty and the kids this year in San Francisco and had a great time. We shared memories of you, Mom, and Dad which made the holiday bearable. Milt couldn't join us, he and Gloria were sick with the flu. Continue to feel my love and give Mom and Dad a big hug and kiss for me. I love you with all of my heart.

Your sister,
Shelly

Hello family and friends,

I can't believe it's been twenty years since Greg's passing. Missing him so much! I know you received Mom with open arms. Her cancer came back with a vengeance and she opted not to put herself through anymore aggressive treatment. I miss her so much, she was my everything! it brings me solace to know that she is with family and friends rejoicing above the clouds. I was in Pittsburgh for Donna's nephew's funeral and it saddened me that all of our elders were gone. I missed Mom not accompanying me on that trip, what a empty feeling. I visited with Gwen, Rhonda, and Cecil, all are doing well. Please take good care of Mom and continue to watch over us. Know that I love you endlessly give Mom a hug and a kiss for me.

Shelly

Greetings family and friends,

Happy Heavenly Birthday to my belove brother Greg. He would have been 67 today. Not a day goes by that we don't think of him as he is always in our memories and in our hearts. Mom turned 90 years old in December and Rhonda came out for her birthday party. A great time was had by all! Mom gets around good and is still very independent. Gwen will visit later this year. Please continue to watch over us and protect us until we reunite. What a joyous occassion it will be! We love Greg much and will remain in our hearts and memories forever!

To my beloved brother, family, and friends,
Here's to another heavenly birthday, Greg would have been 67 today. Not a day goes by that you're not thought of. You are truly missed by all who knew you as we talk about you all of the time. Hope this New Year brings goodness to all. Rhonda came out for Mom's 90th birthday party, Gwen will come out later this year. What a good time had by all! I can't believe Mom is 90, she still has her independence and most days gets around pretty good. Greg remains in our hearts forever and when we reunite, what a joyous occasion it will be.

Greetings family and friends,
It's been nineteen years to this date since Greg transitioned. Sometimes it seems like yesterday but most times it seems like forever. We sure do miss him and his mischievous grin. When i'm facing adversities, I always say to myself, "what would Greg do or say". Mom remains cancer free thank God, however, she is slowing down due to other health challenges. I have to keep reminding myself that she is pushing 90 years old in December. She is still independent and drives to Walmart by herself and I'll continue to let her until she no longer can. Of course we speak of Greg often and he remains in our hearts forever. Gwen may come out for Mom's birthday which would be a great birthday surprise gift for Mom. We may not physically have Greg but he lives through family and friends. What a blessing!

Much love,
Shelly

Greetings Family and Friends,

Today is my beloved brother's birthday! Happy Heavenly Birthday to Greg! Always in my thoughts and heart. It's been a year since Mom's cancer diagnosis and she remains cancer free! Thank the good Lord! Rhonda posted some great pictures of Greg on facebook, which brought back some wonderful memories! Boy did we use to cut up! How I miss those days with Greg and his comical sense of humor. In my last post I forgot to mention that we also lost our cousin Ricky. Hopefully this new year of 2022 wil be a better year for all. My love for Greg is everlasting, I miss you much my dear brother.

Hello family and friends,

Hope everybody is staying healthy and safe during these challenging times. It's been 18 years since Greg's passing and not a day passes without thoughts of him. We all continue to miss him dearly and I know he continues to watch over us with the rest of our ancestors that have passed on. Mom has been sick with lung cancer but was given a cancer free diagnosis recently! Praise our Heavenly Father for grace and favor along with our Angels who continue to watch over and protect us. We've lost so many loved ones this year, Miss Joan, Aunt Joan, Uncle Paul, Mrs. Williams, Couins Trina and Darin. I know they are rejoicing in the presence of the Lord. Until we reunite know that I love you endlessly.

Your Sis,
Shelly

Hello family and friends,

Happy Heavenly Birthday to my beloved brother Greg, who would have turned 65 today. We all miss you so much however, you continue to live in us through posting of great pictures and comments on Facebook and Instagram but most of all, great memories. Cousin Trina transitioned this past week from the COVID virus which has had a great impact on the population. I know you received her with opened arms. Mom just turned 88 and is slowing down so she is with me now. You are forever a part of me, I love and miss you much. Please conttinue to watch over us.

Shelly

Good morning everybody,
Hope everyone is staying safe during the pandemic. Today is the seventeenth year of Greg’s passing. We miss him so much, thank God for memories as we have so many to cherish. Greg I know you embraced Uncle Pye as he joined you a few months ago. There’s truly a celebration up there with all of our family and friends that have since transitioned. Someday we will all reunite and that will be a joyous occasion. Please continue to watch over and protect us as we navigate through these trying times. I love you infinitely ❤

Your loving sister,

Shelly

Greetings family and friends,
Happy birthday to my beloved brother Greg. Today would have been his 64th birthday. He is always in our hearts and thoughts. We miss you much Greg and often think about you as we navigate through our daily lives. We know you are safe with the Lord, family, and friends. Know that you are forever loved!

Celebrating your zest for God, life, love, family and people. I miss you my friend and think about you often. I have so many great memories, I will never forget how you touched my life. You were special, so much so, that God took you much too soon from us, to be with Him. I can see you now, singing, praising and directing all to His glory. Until we meet again! Rest with God!

Good morning family and friends,
Today is the 16th anniversary of Greg's homecoming. How the years have passed! We talk about Greg and are constantly reminded of his uniqueness through memories and music. He was surely one of a kind. We all miss him much and know that he is safe in the presence of the Lord and other family and friends who have transitioned. Greg please continue to watch over us and keep us safe. You are with me always as I feel your presence daily. Forever loving you,
Shelly

Happy Birthday Dearest Gregory,

He would have been 63 today. Always in my heart and memories. We were in Pittsburgh for the Thanksgiving holiday. It's always good to be home with family and the aura of home which is Greg. We visited with Ms. Joan and she had pictures of Greg and shared many stories of him as a boy and talked about the folks we grew up with in the Village. So many good times our families shared together, so many special memories. I know you are in GREAT company, please continue to watch over us and keep us safe.

Forever loving and missing you,

Shelly

My beloved brother,

Fifteen years has passed and yet the memories are so vivid. You are still very much a part of our lives. We have a new edition to the family. Nickki just had another baby girl, they say she looks just like me when I was a baby. We were in Pittsburgh in August for Kat's wedding and we all got together with the cousins, Rhonda, Pam Norma, Gwen, Mom, and Aunt Joan (who now has dementia.) She said she hadn't seen you in awhile and we reminded her that you had transitioned. You are always in our conversations. :) We will be going back home for Thanksgiving and your good spirit remains in the house. I know Uncle Donald and Aunt Liz had a grand reception when you all reunited. Please continue to watch over us and keep us safe.

With my eternal love,

Shelly

Happy Birthday to Greg!

My beloved brother would have been 62 years of age today. Although he is not with us in the physical being he will remain with us in the spiritual being eternally. We were in Pittsburgh for the holidays and reflected on stories of Greg thorought our visit. Milt joined us a few days after Christmas and we spent time riding through our childhood neighborhood and sharing stories about how mischievous Greg was as a little boy traipsing around the Village. Those were truly the "good ole days". We shared a wonderful time with family and of course the void will always be GREG. Please continue to be our guardian angel as I know you have protected me in many situations. Love and miss you dearly,

Your little sis,

Shelly

My dearest Gregory,

It's been fourteen years and you remain in our hearts and are still the topic of good conversations.
I miss you, we miss you so much. I know there's a party going on where you are with all of our loved ones who have joined you on the other side. I bet when we reunite you'll have some stories to tell! There's not a passing day that you're not a part of my life. Chuckie stayed with us for ten days and talked about you constantly! He really misses his confidant! We had a great time with memories of you.I love you and miss you dearly.

With all of my heart,

Shelly

Happy Birthday to my beloved brother Gregory,

We will always celebrate the day you were born through fond memories that are everlasting. Missing you much and loving you more. I know you're enjoying the family reunion with all of our loved ones who have joined you and what a celebration it must be! Please continue to watch over us until we reunite.

Thinking of you and loving you endlessly,

Shelly

Oh Yes! I can only imagine the fun, conversation and worship that is going on with all of our family. Miss you all.

Until we meet again,

My beloved brother Greg,

Today will mark the thirteenth year of your departure on this earth. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and other times it feels like a lifetime since I last spoke with you. Always thinking of you and missing our talks we shared. Please continue to watch over us as you are the angel on my shoulder always protecting me from harm. I know you received aunt Thelma and uncle Clyde with open arms. We love and miss you all!

Forever in my heart,

Shelly

Happy Birthday to my dearest Greg!

Thinking of you and missing you much. You are truly MY angel watching over me and the rest of us here. We talk about you all the time, thank God for memories, they never seem to fade. I know Dad is in good hands with you. We will be going to Pittsburgh in the next few weeks, its always good to get back although it's bittersweet, however, I feel connected to you when I'm back there. Your spirit and the memories are throughout the house in which I find solace.

Loving you forever!

Shelly

Dearest Greg,

Thinking of you everyday and missing you much! Can't believe it's been twelve years since you departed this earth. I can feel your spirit when we visit Pittsburgh and stay at your house. It's always so nice to get back there to have that connection. We know you're in good hands and you're watching over Dad. The memories live on, love you much!

Shelly

Happy Birthday Gregory! Miss you much.

Happy Birthday Greg!

He would have been 59 years old today. Me and Mom were just talking about him wondering what he would have been doing today. We miss him sooo much. Sy was expressing not to long ago how much he missed Greg too. Everybody that knew Greg talks about how much he is missed. We do know that he is in good company with the family and friends that have since passed on. Your sprit continues to live through us! Love and miss you dearly.

Shelly

Yes, 11 years and I miss Gregg so very much; however, I do believe that we WILL see each other again. What a glorious day that will be -- all of us in the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Wow! Can't believe it's been eleven years since my beloved brother Greg has passed. I know your in the best of company and trust that you are taking great care of Dad, Uncle Edward , and Butchie. I'm sure your raising hell in heaven. Do know that as time passes, there will always be a void in our lives. We forever love and miss you dearly.
Forever loving you,
Shelly

I met a lady at choir rehearsal on Tuesday, January 14, 2014 and she thought she knew me. We talked and come to find out, she is a member of Macadonia Church. I told her that Greg is my cousin and she said that Greg sang at her wedding -- her husband now deceased. We were in much conversation in Greg's honor -- not realizing / remembering that it was his birthday!!!!! With much love and many memories,

Happy Birthday to Greg,
He is always in our thoughts and we carry him with us throughout our everyday lives. Not a day goes by that we don't think of him. Greg we continue to celebrate your spirit and give thanks to the day you were born. January 14, 1956.
Sending my eternal love, Shelly

Amen

Norma

Hello family and friends,

It's been ten years since Greg left us. Wow, time really passes by. We continue to miss him everyday since his departure. I know he is watching over us and I'm sure he received my father with open, loving arms this past June. Greg we all miss you so much, you remain a big part of our lives, take care of Dad, let him know we miss and love him dearly too. Not to worry about Mom, she's with me and she's getting along.

Love you both, Shelly

Happy Birthday to Greg! Thinking of him all the time and fond memories of growing up together ignites great feelings. I miss you sooo much, you remain in my heart forever. We continue to toast your birthday and celebrate you. Loving you forever!

Love and miss you much Greg.

Hello family and friends,

It's been nine years since Greg's transition, at times it feels like yesterday. One great thing about memories, they never die and I have many memories of Greg. Gwen, Mike, and Aunt Joan were here to visit last week and Sy suprised everybody and popped in too, we had a great time together. Dad fell and broke his hip weeks prior and was unable to join in the festivities, I know Greg is watching over him and is assisting with God's healing. Greg, we all miss you so much,we know your spirit continues to protect us all. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Loving you eternally,

Shelly

January 7, 2012

Hello family & freinds, it's going on nine years since Greg's transition. I was in Pgh in October and attended Macedonia church. I really felt Greg's presence throught the church. I know his spirit lives and he continues to protect and watch over us by evidence of my cousin Norma's testimony of how Greg saves her life when she was gravely ill. The family spent Xmas in Pgh and it was a very special occasion for my parents. we miss you dearly Greg and think of you daily, being in Pgh makes us feel closer to you as that was your domain and the place your spirit is strongly felt. Dad didn't want to leave, he wasn't quite ready. You forever remain in our hearts and our memories. Loving you endlessly,

Shelly

Happy birthday to Greg! He would have been 55 today. Milt is visiting this week. He always seems to visit during Greg's birthday week which seems to make things easier for both Mom and Dad. We will toast to your birthday as we always do as we continue to keep you in our hearts and memories. We all miss and love you so much. Shelly

Greg, I can't believe it's been seven years since your departure. We talk about you all the time. Mom always watches the video tape of your memorial and I tell her that may not be good for her because she seems to get depressed. She assures me it makes her feel better. I told her you would be scolding her and telling her don't worry about you, your ok. We all miss you so much. Please continue to watch over us and keep us safe. I love you! Shelly

Happy B-day Greg. I bet everyday is a celebration in Heaven!

Your cousin, Norma

Happy birthday to Greg! Me, Mom, Milt, and Dad toasted to your birthday last night. We miss you sooo much! We reminisced about old times and all the good times our family had coming up. You are always with us in our hearts, spirits, and memories. I love you!

Thinking of you often, Norma.

Dearest family and friends,

It's been six years since Greg's departure and he is missed dearly. Gwen sent for Mom and Dad for a two week visit with her in Pittsburgh and they had a grand time! Thanks Gwen! They could feel the presence of Greg's spirt, especially in his studio. They really needed to feel his connection. Greg please keep protecting and watching over us as I know you do, and know you are missed every moment of our lives! I love so much!

Shelly

Dear Family and Friends,
I had the most difficult time trying to retreive Greg's guest book! I e-mailed the company and now we are back! Just wanted to say how much I have missed Greg especially during the holidays and his birthday. Happy Birthday Greg! Donna and I went to Washington D.C. for the inauguration and visited with Chuckie, B.J.,Shawn and their families. What a great time we had. Greg was truly with us in spirit. We talked about Greg and how he would have sang his rendition of popular gospel songs. Greg , you are thought of every day by family and friends and you legacy carries on. I love you and miss you much!

Dear Family and Friends, It's been five years since Greg's departure and he is missed so much. My mom talks about him everyday, some days, all day. His spirit remains with us as we continue on lifes journey. Memories of growing up with Greg occur frequently and are as vivid as yesterday! That's something special about life that is much appreciated. Hey Norma, good to know that you're sharing you're thoughts! We love you Greg and miss you as much.

Greg,

Love and miss you much, but you already know that (smiles).

To my family and friends, today is Greg's birthday and he would have been 52 years old. My other brother Milt was visiting this weekend and we reminised about Greg and the times we shared when we were children. We agreed that we think of Greg daily and talked about how much we miss him. Greg will always be a special part of our lives and the memories will continue to live on. We love you Greg, Happy Birthday

This is the time of Greg's fourth year homecoming anniversary. It really doesn't seem like it's been four years ago since his demise. I can attribute this to the guest book which affords me the opportunity to communicate and express my thoughts. Greg's presence will remain forever with us through years of wonderful memories as well as real-like dreams. As we continue to cultivate our relationship with GOD so that we may gain a better understanding of HIS will, we know that Greg is in good hands and has been rewarded eternal peace. To Greg, we miss you and love you infinetly !

Just a few lines to say that Greg is heavy on my mind today. I just finished reading all of the entries from his guest book and I must express that it really is my way of a spiritual connection to Greg, perhaps my way of being consoled as well as communicating. I love you Greg and miss you more than I can express.To our family and friends,please continue to share your words of expressions. I love you all.

To all of our family and freinds, Greg's birhtday was the 14th of this month, he would've been 51 years of age. I always miss Greg, but I especially miss him on expected conversations such as weekends, holidays, and birthdays.(thank God for memories) Greg continues to watch over us and we have consistently been blessed with God's good graces. He truly has an Angel in Greg. HAPPY BIRTHDAY my dearest Greg!

To my family. I too have dreams of Greg--calling me on the phone, but he sounds so far away with static on the line. I love him and all of you very, very much. Greg seems to contact me a lot in dreams, thoughts, and sometimes I even feel his presence. I think of him daily and I miss him very much. With much love, Norma Allen, 1st Cousin

To the Loving "Family of Gregory E. Leonard" -- Although I never had the opportunity to meet Greg personally, I feel very close to his family here in California, Doris, Milt, and Shelly, and I share love, admiration, and respect for all the beautiful memories they have of Greg. My heart goes out to his loving widow, Gwen, and his brother, Milt and I will always hold a special place in my heart for the wonderful years that all who knew him enjoyed. With love and the warmest regards,

Today is the third anniversary of Greg's homecoming. He is thought of daily and his presence remains forever in our hearts and memories. Dreams seem to be the communication link to Greg. Lately I've been dreaming about him on a regular basis and the dreams seem so true to life. It's almost as though Greg is still with us. I know his spirit is! Just the other day my Dad told my Mom "Greg called, She replied, "Oh he did, what did he say?" and he stated,"I don't know, you woke me up but he'll call back. See, I really do believe that dreams keep us connected. To all of our friends and family, thanks for your continued prayers and support.We love you all!


Shelly

In loving memory of Gregory. I miss you and you will always live on in our hearts. Everytime I think of you, I smile. Everytime I think of our past times together, I laugh. Everytime I think of the kind of person you were, I help someone or pray for them. I thank God that our paths met here on earth and I thank Him even more, because I know that we shall meet again. Happy Birthday Greg! Submitted with Love from Nancy

A Message From Your Parents:

Greg, we love you with all our heart and soul. Happy Birthday!

Mom & Dad

Well another year has gone by and memories of Greg continue to be a part of our everyday lives. We had a family Xmas party in California this past year and most of our families flew in from Pittsburgh to join us. Greg`s presence was truly missed. Today is Greg's birthday! Happy birthday to you Greg. We all love you and miss you so much! To the guest, please continue to read and send your messages,they are all so uplifting.

In Memoriam of Our Beloved Gregory E. Leonard January 14, 1956 - October 2, 2003 It's been one year since Greg departed from this existence and not a day goes by that he is not thought of in some form or fashion. Most times it seems like forever and sometimes it seems like yesterday that a peice of our hearts went with him. We know that he is safe in the arms of the Lord always, and that we will reunite someday. Greg has truly been missed as he leaves behind his legacy of a boundless capacity for love of God, family, friends, and church. His untimely death leaves the community a poorer and saddened place, however, Greg will continue to live in our hearts through forty-seven years of fond memories. Sadly missed by his loving wife, Gwen, his parents, Milt and Doris,his brother and sister, Milt and Shelly, and a host of family and friends

Dear Shelly & Family,



My prayers and sympathy are with your family at this trying time. We must always remember that "our God" never puts more on us than we can bear. Keep the faith and keep letting Yaweh push your family forward. Always remember Romans 8:28.

To The Leonard Family,



Are prayers and thoughts are with you during these hard times.

To all of our friends, old and new,

On behalf of the Leonard family, I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you for your expressons of condelences for the unexpected passing of my brother Greg. We are all so very devasted by Greg's untimely tragic departure. It has been our faith in God and the tremendous support from family and friends that have given us the strength to continue on with our lives. Greg would have wanted nothing less. We always knew that Greg was special and he always has been from birth. However, we never knew the magnitude of the hearts, minds and souls that he touched with his extra-ordinary personality and his gifted talents until his Life Celebration at Macedonia Baptist Church on October 6, 2003. We entered the church with heavy hearts full of sadness, confusion and grief and exited the church full of pride, fullfillment and rejoice. The overwhelming gathering was a true testimony of how Greg's being impacted hundreds of lives in a very positive and spiritual manner. This is his Legacy. He has always been my advisor and my protector and I love him dearly. To those of you who did not know him, he never met a stranger. I have to believe that Greg is in a better place, however he continues to live on in our hearts and through our fond momories. Since October 2nd, I have been on a journey searching for solace throughout this difficult time, and because of all of you, I believe I have found it. Nanc, thank you for enlighting me to the Legacy Web site, and again thanks to all of you for your comforting messages.

To the Leonard Family,



I was terribly saddened to hear of your tragic loss. I remember hearing Greg with the Sons of Korah, and being blessed by his wonderful God-given voice. When in Pittsburgh, I sang with Oronde and Young Adult Ensemble at Macedonia, so I feel like we have lost a member of our music ministry "family". But I know he is in the presence of the Lord. May God bless you and keep you in your time of bereavement.

To The Family Of Gregory E. Leonard

I would like to send my condolences to his family. I worked with Greg at Mellon Bank. There will always be a place in my heart for my friend and co-worker. He was such a nice and friendly person. He will be missed. My prayers are with the family.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Greg Leonard. I knew Greg when he worked at Mellon many years ago. I still would see Greg at Crafton-Ingram shopping center where I worked part-time. Greg was a special person, he was the nicest man that has walked this earth, whenever he would see me he would also give me a hug & kiss which I will deeply miss. I will carry him in my heart forever.

TO THE LEONARD FAMILY, I AM SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR TRGIC LOSS. I USED TO HAVE 3 ROTTWEILERS THAT GREG WOULD HAVE TO WALK PASS TO GET SOME OF THE GARBAGE HE WOULD SING TO THE DOGS AND KIND OF CALMED THEM DOWN, THEN HE WOULD TELL THEM " I'LL SEE YOU ALL NEXT FRIDAY " AND COME BACK AND SING TO THEM AGAIN. MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND KEEP YOU NEAR.

To Gwen, Greg's parents, Milton & Shelley. I cannot express the shock and the pain of the news of losing someone as kind hearted as Greg. Though we have not spoken since high school, I have always remembered Greg & Gwen as a perfect match. Greg always had a kind word and a positive outlook. Then came Jesus! I really regret not being there to see the effect Christ had on his life. I know it has been an awesome thing to see a person with Greg's personaly made even greater by the love of Jesus. Gwen, hold on to God's unchanging hand, because He is the same yesterday, today and forever, and He will carry all of you through this difficult time and deliver you safely to the other side of "through". I will keep you in my prayers, because I know God is able to be more than what we need, when we need.

Our deepest sympathies to the Leonard Family.

I was saddened to find out that our great city had lost one of it's fine employees while performing his daily routine. I was so moved that I attached a card expressing my sympathy to the top of my trash can for his fellow comrades, not knowing at that time that I was not only blessing his fellow employees, family and friends, but also blessing myself because I did not find out until Sunday that I had indeed lost a very old and special friend. I met Gregory while working at Mellon Bank in 1986. He was ALWAYS pleasant to everyone and had a "special gift" that touched everyone who had any contact with him. I remember he once told me that his grandmother told him "He was born with a veil over his face," and I didn't know what that meant until several years after not seeing him. I had not been in contact with Gregory for at least 3 years now, but the day he died, he came to me in a dream and I was talking to a mutual friend of ours and happily remembering his smiling face, not knowing that such a tragedy had ended his life that day. Gwen, I don't know you or any of Gregory's family, but I know of all of you from talking with Gregory and my deepest, sincerest love goes out to all of you. I know what a void his passing is in all of your lives, but you can trust he is indeed with our Lord...and like so many book entries before mine, we will always look back and smile when Gregory comes to mind. God bless your heavy hearts...may you find peace.

To the Leonard Family,

you all have my deepest sympathy,

I remember Gregory from St.Clair

Village, I didn't know him well but,he seemed like a nice guy.

I remember Shelly from our years at Phillip Murry School in St.Clair.

My God Bless and keep you all in your time of sorrow.

I can see by all the guest book entires and, the familiar names from former St.Clair Village residents that Gregory was very much a well loved man.

Dear Gwen,

Sean and I are so sorry to hear of Greg's tragic passing. May you know that the Lord is always "timely" and Greg has fulfilled his time here on earth and has moved onto something much bigger. I just rejoice in the short time I've known him and he has been such a blessing to me through his singing; he ministered to me with his voice everytime I heard him sing. Just know that God restores us all. Our prayers are with you in your season of grief.

Greg, God's beautiful sound of joy. Greg touched my heart with his singing, he ministered to my soul. It's amazing and such a blessing how God uses different people to touch someone's heart and to be of help in a person's life sruggles, just by hearing an inspirational song with inspiring words. One thing about this is, I never even met him. I will truly miss hearing him. My deepest sympathy, to his wife and children. God has already given you peace, just reach out to him to receive it.



Love Leah Owens and Family

Dear Gwen, So sorry to hear of the loss of your husband, Leonard. Please accept our sincere condolences to you, and to the rest of your family.

Gwen, words cannot begin to express our feelings. What a blessing to know that Greg is with the Lord. May God continue to bless and strengthen you.



Love,

Bev, Oda and Sattarah Bolden

Gwen - (Cede)

Just a note to tell you that I am keeping you in my prayers. God is your present strength and help. Keep your hand in his hand. God Bless!

To The Leonard Family:

Though Greg's life may have seemed short he touched a lot of lives during his stay here on earth, mine included. He often shared the Word of God with me as we sat in the hair salon. As you know, he was only doing what God assigned him to do. I thank God for the time He allowed me to know Greg. May I say to you his loving family, pray that we live our lives, so that we will see him again! The "Celebration Of Greg's Life" today, was truly a rejoicing service and I thank you for sharing the moment with us. You have my heartfelt sympathy and love. May God Continue To Bless All Of You!

To Gwen, Shelley and The Leonard Family, You all have my condolences. I will keep all of the family in my prayers. I will always remember Greg's smiling face and pleasant personality; memories of Chartiers City. May God continue to Bless All of You.

TO GWEN, DORIS, MILTON, MILTON, SHELLY AND FAMILY,



MY FAMILY AND I EXTEND OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO YOU IN THE UNEXPECTED, TRAGIC LOSS OF SOMEONE SO DEAR AS GREG. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED BY MANY AND WILL ALWAYS BE A GOOD FEELING IN OUR HEARTS.



I WAS ALWAYS PROUD TO SEE GREG TURNED OUT TO BE SUCH A LOVING AND CARING PERSON. I COULDN'T IMAGE WHERE HE WENT TO WHEN I DIDN'T SEE HIM AT MELLON ANYMORE. THEN ONE DAY, OUT OF THE CLEAR BLUE SKY, I RAN INTO HIM AT MACEDONIA. SO, I WAS ESPECIALLY PROUD TO SEE HIM AGAIN AS A DEVOTED MEMBER, SINGING WITH SON OF KORAH AND STANDING OUTSIDE WITH WARM WELCOMES TO MACEDONIA.



WE SHARE YOUR TRAGIC LOSS. YOUR PRAYERS ARE WITH US AND GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS.

To the Leonard Family,



You don't know me or do I know you, but I was very saddened to hear about the tragic accident that caused the death of your loved one. I felt compelled to express my condolences to let you know that there are people whom you don't know that feel for the family......Don't think of him as gone away--his journey's just begun, life holds so many facets--this earth is only one. May God provide comfort for each and every family member and seek support for the difficult times ahead. Hold on to those "Good Memories".

To Gwen and the Leonard Family,



My thoughts, and prayers are with all of you at this time. Greg was such a pleasant man and always had a kind word. It's hard to understand why things happen the way they do, but God had a plan for Greg. We must keep in our mind, "All things work for the good for those who love the Lord." So, when the Lord called on Greg we must understand that he is in a much better place. For the Lord does not make mistakes. My God Bless all of you at this time and keep you in his care.

In Christian Love,

Linda Jacobs

My wife & I were shocked to hear the tragic news about Greg's sudden death. Our heartfelt & deepest sympathy goes to wife,Gwen & his Family. I remember Greg well because we would always say "Capricorn time" was our time of year for our shared birthdays. He was our neighbor & good friend from Manchester when we first met & he "just seemed to know" that I & my wife were meant to be together even in our early days. We'll miss his kind spirit & genuine smile; he'll be truly missed but we know he's in a Better Place. PEACE.
