It took me a while to gather my thoughts. There are so many things Leonar and I have shared. We met back in 1972, and our friendship blossomed enternally from there. I will missed all of the conversations we had, all of the laughter, and most of all you, Leonar. May God bless your family, at this time. I will never forget you, because you will always be in my thoughts.

Leonar was one of a kind, a class act and a special friend, whom I loved and had so much adoration. She never stop being Leonar no matter how the course of life changed, she was who she was and that is what made her a special being. I am dismayed today in my heart, I know this to shall pass; but, I have to let the world know that I am really missing my friend. It feels unreal to me, this is new as a dream that I just cannot seem to wake up from. I know the Lord will make it easier each day, and she is in a better place. Yet, today my heart aches me still the same; so, I will be praying every awakening moment to get pass these feelings of dispair and I will continuously pray for you all and our other friends who are feeling what I am feeling right now. I love you all, always!!!! Dee

What am I going to do now when I need to call you in the wee hours of the morning because I need my friend to talk to. I will miss you so much. Because of you I found a reason to laugh from the bottom of my toes, deep in my heart to the crown of my head. I will miss you so much. You will forever be "my dawg." I love you and will miss you so much. Thank you for laughs, the cries, the most sincere friend I've ever had. The friend that I know loved me unconditionally. Leonar, what am I suppose to do now, when I need my friend? I know you are in peace now - no more pain. Thank you for everything, but most of all thank you for sharing my life and allowing me to be a part of yours.
