    Thinking of you during your time of loss. God wraps us in a tender embrace while we mourn. In time, we emerge comforted by God’s mercy and restored by His love. My Brother-in Law is in a better place and I’m sure he is already Fishing. May God’s infinite Love be very real to you, especially now. Love to you and the Family.

    Helen and family,
    My deepest sympathy to you all during this difficult time. Always remember the good times of lasting memories of Bro Leon. Over 30 years ago, while serving in the same church (Shiloh) you and Bro Leon were very dear to me and my family. Although you moved to Portsmouth/Suffolk many years ago, we never forgot about you all. You will always in in the hearts of Circle 13 members. Praying Always,
