To the Bereaved Family, Leonard was such a kindly gentleman, a great student, and a constant for academic excellence at FAMU! I gravitated to his class level during the period that FAMU was on a Trimester System, I saw him in passing each day from the Student Union Building, the only time that I would see him because his classes were in Jones Hall__ the Hall of Rattler Science Giants at FAMU!

TO: Leonard and the Inge Family
At a time of sorrow, it is hard to believe That the sun will once again shine.
Still, life has a way of starting anew, A gradual moving away From heartaches that linger, as heartaches will do,
As spring returns to the Earth every year, Bringing all of its beauty in view, So merciful time will heal everything, Bringing peace of mind back to you.
Know in your heart that love never dies, No matter whatever befalls. The only ones who never have tears in their eyes Are those who loved no one at all.
The greater the love, the greater the loss. Still, it's love that makes life worth living. Few are the ones who will not bear the cost To have shared in the joy of its giving.
God Bless You All,
Gregory Anderson FAMU High Class of 1991
