Lorraine and family: We are so sorry for your loss and our prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. The lives of the Pakkala's and the Lintala's were linked in so many ways--friends, neighbors and finally part of the same family. Leonard lived a good life and we can all celebrate that while mourning his loss. Love, Janet Pakkala Downey and husband, Bob.
