Dear Fran: What a sad loss. Leon was such a special person. My family and I will never forget his unique wedding ceremony he conducted for my daughter and husband. It was sweet and from his heart. We all loved him.

Scott and I were very sad to learn of Leon's passing. He married us in 2008 and did such a wonderful, personalized job, everyone enjoyed the service. He'll be missed by so many. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
