The Legg family would like to thank everyone for their words of comfort in this difficult time. His suffering is at an end now and he's free to move without pain.

God knew that you were suffering
That the hills were hard to climb,
So he gently closed your and whispered,
Peace be Thine.
It Broke our hearts to lose...

Adversity does not make heroes, only reveals them.

Dear Lynda
Gosh Lynda it has been so long since we have talked. I just happened to see your Fathers obituary in the paper this morning and couldn't help remembering all the times the three of us drove your Dad so crazy when we were younger. Bless his heart.
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so hard to lose a parent and my heart is with you and your family. Please get in touch with me when you can Lynda. It's been too long and I would love to hear from you.
My prayers are with...
