LEONARD SUFFERED THROUGH SOME ‘WHIRLWIND AND STORMS’ I BELIEVE HE HEARD MY VOICE WHEN THE TEARS FLOWED; AND I WAS RUBBING HIS ARM

MY BROTHER ‘RICK’ TOLD ME HE COULD RUN SO FAST MY DAD COULD NOT ‘CATCH HIM’ HE WOULD GET ‘OUT OF TROUBLE’

BECAUSE HE LEFT OUR FATHER BREATHLESS, AND IN A ‘WHIM’ LEONARD, DID NOT LET HIS ‘LIMITATIONS’ HOLD HIM BACK

HE NEVER SIT STILL LONG ENOUGH; AND HE WOULD ALWAYS ‘FIX YOUR FLAT’ HE WAS AN ARTIST; HISTORIAN; SINGER, AND A MAN OF ‘MANY TALENTS’ SIT HIM AT A ‘KEYBOARD’; AND WATCH HIM ‘PLAY THE PIANO’ OUR COUSIN MONDRELL ‘SAID’; HE WAS LIKE A ‘GORILLA IN THE JUNGLE’ HE COULD HAVE ‘TARZAN’, in the 1800’s WHILE LIVING IN A ‘BUNGALOW’ HE LOVED ‘ANIMALS’, AND WAS A LOVER OF ‘DOGS’; AND WOULD TEACH THEM ‘NOT TO BITE’ YOU’D BETTER WATCH OUT! YOU MIGHT SEE THE DOG RIDING A ‘BIKE’ I WAS ‘OLD’ WHEN I LEARNED THAT HE WAS ‘BRILLIANT’ AND LOVED TO ‘TEACH’ THROUGHOUT MY LIFE, I KNEW HE WAS A GREAT ‘ARTIST’; AND HE LOVED TO ‘EAT’ DO WE REALLY KNOW THOSE THAT LABOR AMONG US? ARE WE AWARE OF ALL OF THEIR ‘TALENTS AND SKILLS’ THAT ARE SITTING IN THE DUST? THIS MAN WAS LIKE A ‘SOLDIER’ ALTHOUGH HE HAD NEVER FOUGHT IN THE WAR HE LOVED AND HELPED SO MANY PEOPLE; YOU MAY HAVE THOUGHT HE WAS A ‘SUPERSTAR’ THERE ARE SOME PRECIOUS MEMORIES THAT HE WILL LEAVE BEHIND;

Final Arrangements To

AND SOME ‘WE WILL NEVER FORGET’ LET’S HOLD ON TO THE ‘GOOD ONES’; AND MOVE ON WITH OUR LIVES WITH ‘NO REGRETS;

DID WE REMEMER TO SHARE OUR LOVE, LAUGHTER AND JOY WITH HIM? I AM SURE THAT ‘UNCLE EARL’ HAS STORIES THAT CAN KEEP US MOVING AND CLIMBING ‘UP THE HILL’ LET US ALL ‘HOLD ON’ AND DON’T GIVE UP LIKE JUST LIKE ‘LEONARDO DID’
