Marie and famil I don\'t know if the sign in the front of the church was put there in Leon\'s memory or it was just a coincidence but I think we can all say it was his testimony (Heaven, a prepared place for prepared people). How appropriate to be on our church sign this week! God Bless each of you! and Tina I am sending a special hug from Courtney. Pam Davis 2008-08-26 05:54:34
