I want to share those thoughts with you today. (Scripture quotations are taken from the Amplified® Bible (AMP), Copyright © 2015 by The Lockman Foundation. Used by permission. www.lockman.org)

The leg became infected, and eventually, gangrene necessitated the amputation of the leg. Leach died of complications two months later.
