To the Leonard family. I am so sorry for your loss. Larry was a great and fun loving person that my family have known for many, many years. Our paths crossed last year at a birthday party and once he realized it was me "Baby Girl" we talked for over an hour catching up. Thank you for the memories. Your spirit will be missed but not forgotten.

I send my deepest sympathy to the Leonard family. You are in my prayers. I have known Larry for several years and he was a very good friend. I have even been to Mrs. Leonard"s home on several occasion where she welcome me in.I could not let this day go by without expressing my sympathy. I want to remember the good things about Larry(his joking, his playing, his singing and his laugther. There were days that I remember that I felt like I could not go on and Larry would come along and sing (I had some good days and some bad days I won't complain.) I don't know if he knew that song was my favorite song and he would put a smile on my face everytime. He never met a stranger and he did, you would not know it. Well I am praying for you that the Lord will see you threw this rough time. May God Bless You and Keep You
