Hey Uncle Leo,
i know that we didn't get to know each other but getting to meet you was a moment i will cherish and i will never forget any of it. When i first met you there was a smile on your face even in one of the most depressing places. in the time that i have known you or from what people have told me about you i have come to love you as if i had known you forever. which is one thing i wish i could have done. well now you are in a better place. And we will meet again someday and i look forward to it. I love you and may you Rest In Peace.

Uncle Leo, I may have not gotten to grow up around you but I do remember the fun times that I had when we came to visit. I know that when I picked up the phone if I needed anything you would have been there. I don't ever really remember seeing you without you having a smile on your face. I really loved talking to you about the Redskins. I am sorry to have seen you go but I know that you are up there with poppa walker and your mom and brothers. Tell Uncle Billy I said hi and miss him to. I love you Uncle Leo, you will forever be in my heart.

Daddy, Already there is a void in my life beyond belief. I miss your smile, your laugh, your hugs. I know you are pain free and in a better place.You taught your kids to be strong, to be stubborn, by most of all to love. No matter what was going on in your life, no matter what struggles you faced, there was never a doubt that you loved us. I am thankful that God shared you with us as long as he did, and know that now it is his turn to have you. Of all the daddies in the world...I am glad that you are mine, and if I had to do it all over again..I would still choose you. Go rest high on that mountain daddy, your work on earth is done. You left the best parts of you behind..But we will be together again. The vessel got broken and weary...but the spirit will forever live on.
I love you Poppy so very very much.
