In the last two months of their time together they were inseparable, and today Leona Sophia still aims to honor her big brother.

 

"In remembrance of him and my own personal healing, I will dedicate time to overseeing his charitable trust, as a means to work toward the community efforts that he and I envisioned,"says Leona.​

 

Charles and Leona spent many hours talking about their experiences at the family farms in their youth. Over the years they discussed operating a community apple orchard and farm. These conversations represented shared dreams and visions for greater purpose. For it was in those last several months, as they were facing loss and grief, that Charles and Leona realized the bigger calling to serve the community through their desires. 

​

After several years, since Charles' passing, of doing all she could to keep busy as a means of avoidance, life circumstances woke Leona up to the realization that her brother's spirit was patiently waiting for her to be ready to see their dream through, to live the purpose for both of them. 

​

Their Song of Wisdom, was build upon hours of discussion inbetween home-care, hospitals, and ultimately hospice. Hence, Saron Sophia, which served as a quiet melody always in the background, suddenly burst forth in full chorus to be shared with all so that we 'may be One' in connectivity.

​

And through this, though Charles may have sang his last song on this earth,

his spirit still sings for others!
