Cece & Leo Martignoni left a message on May 19, 2023:
Dear Sharon, family & relatives, Our deepest condolences in your time of sorrow. The wonderful memories left behind are a testament to Leonzie's character and love. Tears and smiles at the stories told by his sister and granddaughter and a lesson on patience, "hold out and you will get what you want." Here are words to a song that you should find comforting, entitled, "He Will Call." Life, like a mist, appears for just a day, Then disappears tomorrow. All that we are can quickly fade away, Replaced with tears and sorrow. If a man should die, can he live again? Hear the promise God has made: (Chorus) He will call; The dead will answer, They will live at his command. For he will have a longing For the work of his own hand. So have faith, and do not wonder, For our God can make us stand. And we will live forever, As the work of his own hand. Friends of God, though they may pass away, Will never be forsaken. Then we'll come to see all that life can be: Paradise eternally. (Chorus) Our heavenly Father Jehovah God knows what you are all going through and he has given you along with all us the hope of the resurrection when we will be reunited in paradise on earth.

Sharon Williamson left a message on May 11, 2023:
Dear Sharon and family, Please accept my sincere condolences in the loss of your father. The pain and sadness we experience in this old system of things will very soon be a thing of the past. It is my sincere prayer that you will be comforted by meditating on the beautiful hope of the resurrection in which we will be reunited in paradise where we have the prospect of living forever. No more sickness, death or any pain (Rev. 21:3,4). Be assured of my love and prayers for you and your family my dear sister!
