My thoughts are with the wonderful Leonard family at this sad time. I will be joining you for Kay's live-streamed funeral tomorrow. Being a friend since 8th grade we had many good times together. Your loving and caring family is such a testament to Kay and your Dad. Thanks for memorials to St. Joseph Academy as they will assist so many students. May happy memories comfort you in the days ahead.
