Leona and boys. I send my heartfelt condolences and prayers to you. Cleve was such a great friend and co-worker and I truly appreciated all the times we spent together at ATK, the basketball court, and the many holiday and lunch events. He always lit up the room with his big smile. So many great memories and good times. Bless you and the whole family in this difficult time. Henry and Sabrina Juan.
My deeped condolences goes out to Leone and the sons of Cleve. His smile and talks about the old high school days will be missed. I know he will rest in peace and keep a heavenly watch on his favorite lady,Leone.

There are never enough words or the right words during times like this... trust & lean on God for comfort, understanding & peace.

Through the years we always had amazing conversations and have been able to be apart of the family through the barbershop. I send you all my love and he will be so missed by myself and everyone he has touched.
Cleve was like the big brother to me. I will miss you. Thank you for your service and all of those times I called. Rest in Peace. Anne Helm

Leona, Jermaine and Jarvis my heart is broken because your heart is broken! Leona you were two halves of the same whole. You both complimented each other perfectly. Your love was the envy of many, you were so blessed to have found each other for thirty seven years, during that time I can never recall a harsh word between you two, that's love! You were always one, on one accord, together! Best friends. Cleve was my football and basketball smack talker partner....this seems too soon! I am so thankful that God allowed our path to cross in 1977 freshman year and forty-four years later we are sisters. I love you Leona and here for you ALWAYS ....Debra Dunston and The Dunston Family
