I would like to send my deepest sympathy out to the Leake family. God is with you and He will stand beside you at all times. In valley experiences all we have to do is look up. For it is at these times that we draw our strength from the hills from whence our help comes. Keep the faith, stand strong in unity as family and give it all to Jesus for He will bear all your burdens and He will carry you if necessary.
Luv,
Pamela Guy |

Hi Mary, I Can't say that I know how you feel, because I never had someone to call Dad. I do know how it feel to lose a love one. Time will heal the wound but the scar will always be there. Always remember the good times you and your family had with your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love you , Sylvia Leake. |

I am very sorry for your loss, however I am very grateful for the wonderful memories, shared! The Lord is a very PRESENT HELP IN THE TIMES OF TROUBLE!
Love
Glenda Cowans
(Felecia, this is what I remember about your dad.) He was a flirt, but he had a certain boyish charm. He knew how to listen, but not lose his opinion, in the discussion. He ENJOYED, Life and he LOVED HIS Family!
He was happy and carefree, and he would always cheer those up who he was around.
