To the Adams Children: I am sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. I knew him & your mom for a long time, also he & I both worked at St.Elizabeth Cath Church at the same time. I remember him as such a loving husband & father, he was proud of his family, & a quiet, but friendly gentleman. I know Shirley welcomed "her Leonard" with open arms.
They were a great couple & now together again, and with our Lord. Continue to celebrate as a family in the future. May your memories bring you comfort and peace in the days to come.
