To Leona's family I am sorry for your loss. Leona was a sweet lady and a dear friend of mine, she was loved by the bible study girls known as the Sista Girls! Leona and my mother were very good friends also they would get together and go down to Hope, AR and visit with Leona's mother before she passed on. We will miss her sweet smile and we know that she is in the presences of the Lord and seeing her loved ones and friends in heaven with her. Praise God that we have the assurance of seeing Leona again someday.
