Alton Little sent The Peace Lily for Mrs. Louise Leach - April 29, 2025
She was a very beautiful,wonderful,kind,and sweet woman. I got the pleasure of meeting her and caring for her for two almost three years. I brought my children to see her an got hugs so much. She would always get me if I was in a hurry I will miss you dearly.
To the Leach family:
I want to encourage you all that the Lord cares deeply when his loved ones die (Psalm 115:16, New Living Translation), and you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
I knew Ms. Leach as a church member at Fellowship Baptist Church, and we sometimes sat together at Sunday school. Again, may God's grace bring you all through this time.
Best regards, Kenneth Sullivan
