2 Corinthians 5:1
For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

Mr. Leon will truly be missed I remember the time when I was a little girl and he used to give me and my sister sweet rolls when he drove his white truck.
