Not sure what to say?

I remember Leeds as a gentle, opinionated (in a good way) intelligent and talented man. I´m thinking of all of his friends, family, students and fellow actors on this day. We´re all lucky to have known him! Love you, Peg!

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Dear Peg, I could say, "I know what you´re feeling right now," but that would be reductive. 50+ years with someone you love so dearly-there are no words, not enough stories and not enough time to embrace the life you shared with Leeds. I send you Love and Peace. -Pat

Praying this morning, and I can hear Leeds reading this at church! I, Paul, am already being poured out like a libation, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have competed well; I have finished the race; I have kept the faith. From now on the crown of righteousness awaits me, which the Lord, the just judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but to all who have longed for his appearance.

What wonderful and true comments about Leeds. I would add that for very many years he has been the cultural leader of Bay City, and for the next many years he will be greatly missed. We are so very fortunate to have had Leeds as well as Margaret in our town.

Margaret, we send our sincerest sympathy. Leeds was one of the most nurturing individuals I have ever met or worked with. Simply, he was a caring creator who made others better. He saw potential, and helped others see theirs, then encouraged them to achieve it. We´ll miss him, his vision, his creative power, his wonderful personality, his drive, his wit, his talent and his wisdom. Much love to you and his memory.

Dearest Margaret- With such sadness I send my sincere condolences. Leeds was one in a million. But- of course you of all people know that. His faithful and many floral purchasing visits always came with a huge smile. You are such a special person to have had so many wonderful years with him. (and vice versa) Please know the joy I felt in seeing you both last summer at the friendship shell. Our customers were family. My love and sincerity are sent to you . Hugs and Love- Jann

My sympathy Margaret! Our community has lost a great man. His contributions to this community will be greatly missed.
