Dear Jo, Dennis, & family,
Just so saddened to hear of Bro. Leroy's passing. He is definitely in no more pain and will know no more sorrow from this old earth! He is safely resting in the arms of Jesus now.
We thought so much of Bro. Leroy. He was quiet, but it was very evident in his life that he was a christian and loved serving the Lord! Keeping all of you close in thought and prayers during such a difficult time!
