"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal. Love leaves memories no one can steal." God's comfort is my prayer for Beverly, Mike, Al and the family and thankfulness to God for preparing an eternal resting place for Leonard, Brother in Christ and old friend.

To the Barnett family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. He was a good principal who cared about the children and his staff! When I retired, I requested he be asked to my retirement party & he was gracious enough to take time out from his fishing to come! Love to all of you!

Bev - I feel like we've lost one of our own family members. Leonard was always so thoughtful bringing his watermelons from his garden to share with us. He always delivered them with a smile on his face. I loved hearing you two talk - your relationship was one of a kind - strong and loving. It's raining today and I'm sure they are tears from heaven because he misses you so. We are thinking about you and love you so very much. Please call if you need anything. You will always be a part of our family. Love, Kelly, Cody, Rylee, & Kenzee Hebert
