One of Sister Leonard’s favorite scriptures is “Be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might” Ephesians 6:10. Sister Leonard admires the writings of Dr. Maya Angelou. Two of her favorite Dr. Angelou quotes are “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly; but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty and “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion,

some compassion, some humor and some style”.

Sister Leonard is thankful to God for her husband and for blessing their union with two children, Johnathan (Simone), Houston, TX and Briana Singletary (Dwon), Orlando, FL.

She is a proud Grammy of 3 grandsons Cailen Wesley age 10, Dallas Denarto age 5, and Johnathan Wesley, II age 1 and 1 granddaughter, Dahila Denise age 1. Sister Leonard says she chose for her grandchildren to call her Grammy because they are her “Grammy Awards”.
