Hey pops its been a while life crazy. A lot has happened I started 9th grade that was scary but I am doing amazing. I have gotten out of my comfort zone I went to the winter dance and had a lot of fun I finished semester one with honors and the other award I got was one of the best in the term. I have straight A's and a 3.97 GPA. December of 22 was hard we had to put Haley down but I know she is playing and running around up in heaven. January wasn't very interesting. and now february we went to Disney World and had so much fun. We went to three parks and stayed at animal kingdom. There animals outside our room. There was so much good food. We went on a boat to see the firework for nonna birthday. It was so great is was one of the best trips we had. We are getting a puppy in 6 days and March will be our one year anniversary of living in Billerica. How time flies. I know 2023 will be a good year. I turn 15 this year that mean one year till I get my permit nonna says you would have loved to teach me to drive. I get lesson here and there but wow there is so much to learn about driving a car its a lot. It been nice this thanksgiving the whole family was here it was great. No gonna lie its was nice seeing everyone together again. I know its not always gonna be like that but I hope for more days like that where everyone comes to our house and hangs like the good old day. Christmas was quite. I don't really love that yet I miss crazy christmas eve but everyone is so old now that everyone has their own lives. I am going to try and update you again but as you see life gets crazy. I wanted to say I love you and I miss you a lot.

Hey Pops I know it has been a while but I think today was a good day to write. you have been gone 14 year to the day cant believe how time flies. I wish you were here to meet us all and watch us grow but you know god has his own plans. I spent the day with Nonna running a ton of errands we stop by to see you and then we went to target and a dragonfly stop by and hung out in the car with us for a few. Everyone misses you greatly. I wish you stayed on earth a little longer so I could have got to meet you but i definitely know a lot about you. I have heard all the stories from mamma and nonna. I start 9th grade in a few weeks. Crazy I know. I think you would have loved the house we get to live in. Nonna and Dadda were talking about what you would have changed about the house and my dad says I think he would have added a wine rack or something like that. That made nonna laugh. I got my schedule a few week ago and they put me in classes that just sound to easy but you know I will take them because maybe I can keep a 4.0 GPA all though 9th grade imagine that. I have to start thinking about collage thats kinda scary. I want to get in to ASU but my dad says thats a party school even though its not on the top 50 party schools in the US its 51. I am thinking about getting ahead of the game and see when I can start applying for collages but I am also going to enjoy high schools. I am going to make you the promise that I am going to enjoy high school not stress to much plan ahead for everything and graduate with hopefully honers. sound like promise and comitement but i need to make to someone other than myself. I will keep updated on that promise. Well thats the end of this update. Happy 14 year of living in heaven its probally alot nicer than down here. everyone says hello and tell everyone we said hello.

Hi pops it is now December 10 2021 and a lot has happened since last time i wrote so here is another update. Thanks for leading me to a house that you wanted us to have and thank you for having our house sell. The house feels so empty and I hurts but I know that it is all good because you put that house in front of us and said that is was okay. I wish you were here to say that but god had his plans and that okay. I wish I could help mamma out with her stress but I don't know how to but that okay because i know you are already helping her. I finally feel confident in math but i still just dont understand science. also i was going through the basement and found something of your it had to do with fisher scientific i don't know how to work it but i will figure it out. I really miss you and wish we could just have 1 day with you. I cant wait for Christmas. It going to be the last Christmas in this house and that's really hard but I know in the new house we will make even more memories. I know this is everywhere but i just want to let you know whats up. Miss you and thank you for letting us get this house. love you. Love Carmella Deacy December 10 2021

Just heard the news and I'm shocked. Although I hadn't seen or spoken to Leo in 12 years I really cherished the years he used to visit me at Brigham & Women's hospital. Leo was a gem; always smiling and always willing to help a friend. God bless you my friend!!

Leo was my childhood friend and rival back on Bromfield Rd. We shared a lot of great times and laughs at St Clement's and around the neighborhood. I really enjoyed our heart to heart talks at high school reunions talking about life and the good old days. My thoughts and prayers go out to Isabel and his children, and all the Crowleys from Bromfield Rd. Leo had a heart of gold. I'll miss the big guy.

We are all greatly saddened at Dana-Farber by Leo's all too sudden passing. We extend our thoughts and prayers to his family, friends and colleagues at Thermo Fisher in this time of great sorrow.

We’d especially like to thank his family for allowing us to share in but a small piece of Leo’s life. His commitment to and support of Dana-Farber was an inspiration to us all.

The notes and comments I've received from staff at Dana-Farber reflect the indelible impression that Leo left here. As one staff member noted, “He was an institution in the Longwood medical area and will be greatly missed by all.”

To The Crowley Family,

I thought of Leo as more than a salesman for Fisher. He was my dear friend over the past 10yrs. Leo worked so hard for Fisher Sci and his customers. He took pride in always saying "no worries I've taken care of it" and by that you knew it was all set. He worked with DFCI before I was even born :) I'm going to miss him sooooo much! He'll truly be missed.....RIP Leo
