I am saddened to hear of Sgt. Leonhardt's and Sgt's mother's passing. I am however grateful for your sacrifice Sgt.

Liebe Familie Leonhardt,

niemand kann den Schmerz beschreiben,
Kein Wort kann Ihnen das wiederbringen,
das sie so geliebt haben.
Das einzige das bleibt sind die Erinnerungen
und der Platz in Ihren Herzen.

Meine aufrichtige Anteilnahme und das Gott
Ihnen die Strke schenkt, die man in solch schweren Zeiten braucht.

Sehr geehrte Familie Leonhardt,

auch wenn ich Brian persnlich nicht kannte, mchte ich Ihnen mit diesen Worten meine aufrichtige Anteilnahme aussprechen. Auf Youtube habe ich den Erinnerungsfilm "Heaven was needing a Hero" gesehen und es hat mir das Herz gebrochen.
Es tut weh zu sehen, das ein junger Mensch viel zu frh diese Welt verlassen musste, die doch noch soviel fr Ihn zu bieten hatte.
In ihren Erinnerungen wird er immer weiterleben.

Ich wnsche Ihnen von Herzen alles...
