To the family of Leo Kolasz,

I was very saddened when I arrived at Maplewood to give Holy Communion to the residents to find out that Leo has gone to greet his Maker. Leo received Our Lord every Sunday. I am glad that I was able to do this little service for him. I spoke with Henry, his room-mate. He is taking it very hard as he befriended Leo and the two of them got along so well.

Be assured of my prayers for him and his dear family.

He was a very good father, and grandfather to all of you.
