Your Chicky Baby, Tiffani

December 7, 2011

A year ago today I lost my best friend and hero. He was the bravest, most positive person I ever knew. I miss my dad so much.
We always laughed and got each others jokes. We both loved mechanics and cars and had hours of fun talking about them.
He knew the fighting attitude he passed on in me and I just wish he could see how well his grandchildren and I am doing.
I remember him everyday in the things I do and wish I could tell him about them.
I love you dad, very much.

Daddy has always had the most optimistic attitude. Never complained about anything wrong with him except this "dumb MS." He always had a good bit of advice for his girls and plenty of loving compliments. He always believed in us and was proud of us.

Little did I know how much he would shape me with determination and a fight to stick to a goal. He will continue to inspire me.

Those precious last moments with his smiling and sometimes tearful face are treasures to me!

Daddy was always sure he would beat his disease, looking for the next cure. His hope remained strong that one day he would walk again. And I know he will!

A truly lovable and wonderful man!

My memories of Uncle Leonard ranged from giving him hair brushings, riding the side car, Bonnie going for the lemons or ball over the pool (ok, into the pool), to the all night screening sessions. And there is always that smile and laugh.

I will miss you and that smile. Rest in peace Uncle Leonard.

I will always remember my Dad as a postitive, brave, funny and enduring person. Even though MS took more than half his life, he was very special to me in his thoughts and experiences. He was a hero to me for his strength and attitude.

He meant a lot to me and taught me how to keep fighting even when it looks like you're losing. He was so stong and it showed in his fight.

He was very funny and we laughed a lot together. I was very thankful to my family for helping me to be able to see him before he was able to finally let his suffering go.

I will miss him so very much. I loved him very, very much.

I will always remember my Dad with a never-quit, strong-willed, postitive attitude, and as a brave person. Over half his life was taken with MS but he has always been my hero. I loved him with all my heart and I am happy he is not suffering anymore. I will never forget him because his strength and never-say-die attitude lives in me. I'll miss him very, very much.

Len was an amazing uncle. He had a great sense of humor and such a brave, strong spirit. I will always remember him as a fun-loving, genuine, and caring man.
