Norma,
I was so sorry to hear about Leo - I looked for you two this past year at the VNB reunion. I was unable to make the services today but wanted to give you my condolences and sympathy on you and your children's loss. I have many fond and funny memories of my years working with Leo and I treasure them. In reading through the obituary it very apparent that you have lots of family around you at this time and in the future which is great. Take care and my prayers are with you.
