Dearest Mr.Martin ( Leo Sr),

I am so sorry for your recent loss as well as the loss of your dearest wife in 2003.

I am not sure whether your late wife, Gina, was the Gina who was my very good dear friend when she was in Malaysia in the mid 70's for an AFS exchange program. If this was the same Gina, then I am very disappointed to not have been able to connect with her sooner since I moved to the USA 13 years ago. I had been trying to locate her since then and today I stumbled on your son's obituary.

My sincere condoloces again and if you are the Leo whom my dear friend, Gina, was married to, I would love to connect. You or any members of your family can reach me at [email protected].

May God bless you and your family.

Leo you were like a brother to me and a part of our family. I will always cherish the memories we had...working out of state exploring new places and meeting new people. You always made friends no matter where we were or what we were doing. Thank you for being such a great friend/brother and always looking out. I would be selfish to say that I wish you were still here with us but I know you are happy being with your mom again. You will never be forgotten and always in our hearts ? Until we meet again. .. I love you Leo, rest in peace.

I pray that you are in the arms of God, no more pain, no more suffering. We grew up together, but as we grew older, we rarely seen each other, but when we did run into each other, you were always so kind, genuine and real. May God be with your family, giving them strength, and guidance. Till this day, when I eat peas I laugh, I will always remember in pre school when you didn't want your peas so you would make other kids eat them! Lol & you never wanted to nap, rest in peace now. God bless.
