To the Martin Family,
I was very sorry to learn of the passing of Mr. Legrand. He worked with my brother, Larry Brown (dec.), at Sealtest (now Pet Dairy), and we both thought the world of him, as did countless others. My deepest sympathy is extended to all the family at this sad time.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. I have wonderful memories of years that Teddy worked with Legrande and he was a wonderful friend. Uncle Gene has also told me some great stories of his & Legrandes friendship over all of these years. I pray that GOD will hold you all close in his arms and provide you with peace. Legrande has suffered for a long time and now God has taken away his pain. Treasure all of the wonderful memories that you have created over a lifetime. I love you guys and will continue lifting you up in my prayers. Love Stella & James McGee

Bo was like the brother I never had. He was one of my favorite cousins. From an early age, Legrand and his brother Howard took up alot of time with me. They would take me with them wherever they went. I'll never forget Bo telling me how jealous I was of Millie when they started dating. Bo, I love you and you will be sorely missed! Millie, I'm praying that God will give you, Wesley, and Harold Gene and your entire family peace and comfort during this time. I love you all!
