Uncle Leon Adams will truly be missed. He was the first uncle I ever met when I was born in Philadelphia, and he left a lasting impression on my life. I'll always remember how he used to pop me on the head almost every time he saw me—I used to think he had the hardest fingers. Sometimes I'd even duck just to avoid it.
Those small moments meant more than I realized at the time. They were his way of showing love, and I'll carry those memories with me forever. Rest in peace, Uncle Leon. You are loved and will never be forgotten.
RIP, cousin Tootie!
