Dear Noot and Puddin, Kay and I are so sorry to hear about the passing of your sweet "Daddy". Just believe that he was ready and is now with all of our other loved ones. He sure was a handsome man and I wish I could have known him better. Know that we love ya'll very much and if there is truly anything I can do, you know I'm only a phone call away. Our prayers are with ya'll, all our love. PJ and Katie

Hebrews 12:1 says, "Wherefore, seeing we also are compassed about by so great a cloud of witnesses, let up lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." Bro. Leonard is such a witness, and will be missed here.
David L. Dodson - Pastor
