I met Leo two years ago when I began working in dialysis. During that time, I have come to know him not only as a patient but also as a friend. He was always there to share in my good news and to offer encouragement and advice. I looked forward to seeing him three afternoons each week.
Patty and I share your sorrow and our thoughts and prayers are with you. We will miss him.
