It is with love and sympathy, my heart goes out to the Mask family during your time of sorrow. I have known Leon for many years and there will not be a person to fill the void he has left. Leon was always direct in his thoughts of a situation yet it was with the utmost love and respect. What I will miss seeing is his green car over at the Bingo hall or when he would say, "Shut up Gurrrl. With all the sadness, there is peace and most importantly, Leon is no longer suffering. God bless and my prayers are with you all.
