Lovely lady!
This came from the FB page of a Lady I just found out today had passed away last March 24, 2018. Her name is Leona. She met and married my Uncle Alex whom I loved so much I could barely stand it when I heard he had cancer and was terminal. That was in 1978. They met when he was in the hospital and they fell in love and married. She gave him 2 of the most loved years he had and until the day he died she cared for him and stayed with him every second. She was a nurse. Of course there was so much “stuff” that went on around this marriage but they fell in love and that was all I cared about. She made my Uncle Alex happy. I spent time with him that last two days of his life and went to his funeral but I could not go to the Cemetery. I collapsed in sorrow and had to leave. Several weeks ago Leona was heavily on my mind and heart so I sent her a Post to her Facebook page. I just HAD to say hello and to thank her for loving my Uncle Alex. Without me knowing – she died somewhere around that same time. I hope and pray she received my post. They gave me a couple of books and my Uncle had signed them. I still have those books. Yes, Leona – God knows exactly what He is doing and His timing is perfect!!! This comes from a short video on her FB page that fits remarkably well. Leona, yes, God knows – He really does know!!!
