pine bluff, AR Thursday, February 4, 2010 Ms. Bobbie, Rick, Skylar and little Kaylee,I am so sorry to hear about your loss and know how much Leon meant to each of you. Ms. Bobbie I know from our friendship how much you supported him and gave your time to ensure your boys father was taken care of and your grandchildren seen him on a regular bases. I know it has not always been easy for you but you were there and done everything many of us wish we could be as a person, friend, and supporter. I know the few times I met Leon to put a smile on his face you only had to mention his boys or his granddaughters. He glowed when their names were mentioned. I know that you will all miss him but know that Robert was there to greet him and they are both watching down on you all and are your angels in the sky. Have comfort that his pain and suffering is gone and he loved you all so much. May God be with you at this time and Ms. Bobbie if you need anything I am her for you. We love you and you are the best friend, wife, mother, grandmother, and supporter anyone could ever ask for on their side. I love you and miss you and will never forget all the good you gave so many and our stories we shared.
Love always, Annie
