Stephanie, Wally, Dare and Linn, I’m sorry for your loss.
As you comprehend this profound loss, let yourself cry knowing each tear is a note of love rising to the heavens. Hold tight to memories for comfort.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
My dad, Ricky Tucker, and Leonard worked together for many years, and I was lucky enough to work in the same office with Leonard for one summer. He had the sweetest soul, and when I think back about him, a smile never fails to cross my face. He was one of a kind, for sure. I’m so sorry for your loss and will keep your family in my prayers.
Linn, you and your family are in our prayers. I know your loss is great but our God is even bigger than death. You will one day be reunited with Leonard. Keep holding on to all the love and prayers that are being said for you and your family.
We love you and are so saddened by your loss.
Love,
Robert and Myra
