So grateful Leonard's and my life intersected and even intermingled on some Tuesday mornings. Also thankful to have gotten copies of Leonard's first three books signed by his own hand upon the last Tuesday morning we worshipped together. You will certainly be missed but undoubtedly not be forgotten. Your indelible mark is everywhere. Thank you, Leonard.
