I often visited Leona at the health care facility and have many fond memories of her from the church. I loved to joke with her about high hatting each other, she is in heaven high hatting me now. She is a lovely and kind lady, heaven has now enhanced that. I will see you later my friend!

Leona attended church with my grandparents. My papaw was the song leader for many years and he and mamaw loved Leona, as did I. She was such a blessing and a good friend and sister in Christ. Until we meet again sweet Leona!
