Eva Lois and family: I learned of Leon’s death yesterday, Rosetta Harber called to tell me.
Leon and I were classmates at West Plains and he was a good friend.
His parents attended the Center Grove Baptist Church where I attended when I lived in Moody. May the Lord bless you and give you comfort and peace during this time in your lives.
