My heartfelt sympathy to the family of Brother Leonard. It was a privilege to have him as my pastor. We had many meals with him and his lovely wife Nellie at our home, they fit in and were taken in as one of our family members. Leonard was a great help and encouragement to all those he came in contact with. His kindness, and meekness of heart will always be remembered. Leonard always had a hug and a warm smile for those he came in contact with. I have very fond memories of the time we shared with Leonard and his family. He sure loved the Lord and serving Him to the best of his ability. Earth's loss is truly Heaven's gain. Prayers for the family. Patti, Jimmy Napier
