Leonard always cast a bright warm glow wherever he went. An angel here on earth will now rest easy in Heaven. He lived well and will be sorely missed by us all.

I am going to miss you every single day. Thank you for all the things you taught me. I will honor your name by living the way you showed me how to live. You’re finally free and have no more pain or limitations. You got your battle armor now and I know you’ll be watching over us. I love you endlessly, Leonard W. Cobbs III! Thank you for being my very best friend and husband.

This hit hard, what a kind soul. We both battled with MS and he was the one who kept me updated on all the new treatments out there. He loved his family and friends. Keeping the family in deep prayers. Gone too soon. Mashunda
