The smile I see in this picture is the Leonard I know and I love. I keep having periodic periods of grief when the tears start and then I remember that tears are the pressure valve of the heart. God Bless all the family. May we all remember Leonard with this beautiful smile.

My sincere prayers to Mr.Leos family. God bless you all through this hard time.When I was in the ADN program he really showed us he cared about our education. He encouraged all of us. He listened to many of our classmates & helped us through many obstacles. He will be missed. I am glad I was able to have known him through St. Philip's College ADN Program. He really went the extra mile in all he did for all of us. Thank you Mr. Leos! You will be missed.

My Name is Maria Leos Carreon. I never met Leonard. My loss, but I did have an opportunity to speak with him just a few short months ago. He helped me and my cousins with my Aunt and his cousin get the care she needed and wanted to live out her final days as she requested. I could tell he had a gental heart and enjoyed his job very much. I wish we could have met.

“Love never disappears for death is a non-event.
I have merely retired to the room next door.
You and I are the same; what we were for each other, we still are.
Speak to me as you always have, do not use a different tone, Do not be sad.
Continue to laugh at what made us laugh.
Smile and think of me.
Life means what it has always meant.
The link is not severed.
Why should I be out of your soul if I am out of your sight?
I will wait for you, I am not here, but just on the other side of this path.
You see, all is well.”
I had the pleasure of working with Leonard at Heartland Hospice. My condolences to his family and friends. May God Bless his family in this time of need!
