I wanted to come up here and share this...I was home to visit my mom (Becky) around October or so, we saw Leean, Revella and Bonnie at the Rich station, after so many years of being away from WV, Leean still remembered who I was. I had not seen him for years. I remember telling my mom when we left the store that he seemed so vibrant and happy. He had the same smiling eyes as I remember. I also talked about how special it must be for him & Revella to share such a long marriage & life together. I am happy that they were able to share this. I remember as a child going to visit their home with Andy & Bryan and how kind they both were to me. I am glad that I got to see them together in October. I am sorry for your loss.

My deepest regrets for the loss of your dear loved one. I hope comfort can be found in the hope of a resurrection as Jesus promised at John 11:25.
