I’m so sorry to learn of Leo’s passing. Leo seemed to be a man of the people in that he made it a point to come to most of the family get-togethers, including graduations & weddings of recent memory and of yester-year. I will fondly remember seeing his smile and having the privilege to catch up with him at family occasions. Maybe God called Leo home at Easter-time because Leo did such a good job exemplifying the Christian values we’re all called to share. May Leo find eternal peace. And may we remember Leo and try to live up to his great example of a life of stewardship & service. God bless and keep this kindly soul. And I’ll certainly keep Leo in fond memory, also.

I am sorry for your loss and offer words of comfort. God is there to comfort each of you. Psalm 46:1 says: “God is our refuge and strength. A help that is readily found in times of distress.”
