Condolences to the family. Leo was a great person. He is missed
Leo B. Smith From Brother George F Smith JR. I was trying to remember back when Leo & Phil was born I was 13 years old, and the look on our fathers face when he told us there was 2 boys it was hard for him to speak as there was already 6 of us before them. But at the same time you could see he was so proud and excited. There was a lot of good and rough times growing up I can remember at a your age our 3 youngest brother s was working and become great carpenters, what a great path to follow like the one of our maker, Jesus. At a young age they moved to Dallas TX. They meet trials and tribulations and had a lot of setbacks but in all they became closer than most brothers ever got to enjoy. I can relate to that, when they was 6 years old I was getting married and a year later we had our son and speaking to Doug the other day he was looking back and remembered playing with my little brothers for years, oddly he was closer to my brothers than I . I remember the accident that Phil had and our parents moved to Dallas to be with him, in his recovery and again brothers pulled together to help each other. Now I am 62 and we have now lost our 3rd brother Leo was 49 our Lord has the master plan and has bigger plans for Leo. Even though his demise was at the hands of another. The person at blame for this has their own cross to bear and will have to answer for this act whether accident or intentional. The only peace this person can ever have to come forward and ask for Gods forgiveness. To free them from their self made hell, for this is something they will have to live with the rest of their life and in the next. It is hard for me to find forgiveness for this person but I must. I know that by me forgiving some one is the only way I can turn it over to God, to handle what I cannot. In turn God makes us stronger, and a chance to be closer to our friends and family left here to enjoy for the rest of our time here on earth. I use this prayer when I find times hard to understand. God Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the difference.
