Leon, I love you more than words can ever say. You could never imagine the extent of my unconditional love for you. You see, there are days when I still feel as though you're just gone on a short trip, you know how you used to do, when you got upset with one of us, but then as time went on, I realized that you weren't coming back, and that was the hardest thing that I've ever had to deal with. But, in reality, I know that you're in a much better place, where you will never have to ever be unhappy, you'll never have to endure any pain, and most of all you won't ever have to worry about ever hurting anymore.
On October 26, 2005, when GOD called you home, I wanted so much to be the one to go, instead of you, because I couldn't imagine life without you, but then I came to realize that God makes no mistakes, and regardless of the reasons or circumstances, I had so much to go on for, and those reasons are as follows: God Almighty, your 7 beautiful sisters, Latoya, aka T, Sharrae, aka Niecy, Guinea, aka Big Nai, Crystal, aka Bean, Cynnamon, aka Cynn, Chantelle, aka Belle, and Chanelle, aka Nell, along with your 2 lovely daughters, India and Amemiya, whom we must make sure that they know the kind of person that their Dad was, and how much you loved them, and last but not least, there was your fiancee Nakia, aka KiKi, and little Bird Owl, whom you never got to know, but she will always know who you were through all of us, and those three little girls will never want for anything, and they will undoubtedly know the love that you had for them.
Son, not a day goes by when I don't think about all of the joy and love that you brought to all of our hearts, and how much you'd go out of your way, to make sure that everyone else was happy, and always neglecting the most important person, yourself, but that was just the kind of person that you were.
You know, I still find myself missing you so much, but whenever I think of the Board of Education, with all of your names engraved on it, and how much influence that it had on all of you, I can smile and laugh out loud, and that helps me out a lot. Son, I can honestly say that your legacy will always live on, and through all of us, in you, you will never ever be forgotten.
Leon, more than anything else in the world, I'll always cherish the many times in a day that you would always call me to see how I was doing, to make sure that I was alright, and more importantly, you always reminded me of how important I was to you, and how very much you loved me.
In closing, I'd like to say that GOD doesn't put on us more than we can bear, and when he called you home, he knew what was best. You will never be forgotten, and I will always love you.
May the Peace of the Lord, be with you always, until we meet again.
I'd also like to extend my gratitude to my beautiful daughters, whom I couldn't have done this without their love and support, Connie Hendrix, my sister Clarise, my Mom Frances Plummer, my Dad, Milton Plummer, Warren Graham, and I'd also like to extend my gratitude to all of those family and friends, who contributed to Leon's Legacy, and I'd also like to thank you all for your many gifts, expressions, and condolences throughout these trying times, and the thanks also comes my daughters, my granddaughters, and Naquia Horton, we can't thank you enough for all of your support and kindness.
May the Peace of the LORD, be with you always, until we meet again.

There is a time to laugh and a time to cry. A time to live and a time to die....
Leon,
I don't even know where to begin because to me you're not really gone. The morning Mommy called me to tell me what happened to you I couldn't believe it, I still don't. Even when I saw you and touched you for the last time it was like you were sleep but you just didn't wake up and tell me to get out of your hair! I have so many memories of us growing up together which makes it that much harder for me to let go. I never thought in a million years that we would ever have to face something as heartbreaking as this. I still see you when I close my eyes at night. I can still hear your voice over the rest of my thoughts when I'm by myself. This may sound crazy but I still expect to see you. I guess that's how it is when someone you love so much is taken away from you just like that. You knew how much I/we loved you and still do. And don't worry your children will never have to wonder what kind of person you were because we're going to make sure you're memory stays alive. You know we have enough stories about you to tell for the next twenty life times!!! So let me not say good bye but I'll see you later, 'cause I know we'll meet again. I love you , I love you , I love you!!

Hey Cuz,
I know that I haven't seen you since we were little in the Valley and it saddens me that I had to see you like this. I wish that as adults all of us cousins could have been more involved with each other. I will miss you! I will keep Telita, your kids and Uncle Robert in my prayers.
Love,
Stacey

Lil Leon,
Even though it had been years since we had seen each other it pains me to know that you are no longer here. It was just a couple of months ago when i last spoke to you on the phone and we were laughing and joking about the old times and kids and all. I find myself thinking about all the talks we had in the past. And listening to Tupac together. You will always be my little brother. And I will never forget you. "Big Leon"

Leon, I remember when I moved around Sussex Square and you were a sharp little something (lol) and you grew to be a loveable young man and then a father. Even though I havent seen you in ages I always asked about you. You will be missed a great deal by family and friends. Dont worry about what is left here, GOD can take care of you best, now let your soul rest.
Love,
Schamika (Mika)
