"It's always been my belief that one returns to when they were at their most robust, healthy and favorite time of their earthly life to be forever in their new spiritual home, rejoining those who went ahead of them. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. Remember to tell stories, reminisce and laugh celebrating Leonard's life" - by Rusty (Godson) On Friday, July 20, 2012
