Not sure what to say?

We are so sorry to hear about Leo. He was a dear neighbor of ours, and we have so many fond memories of chatting with him in the front yard. He and Deedy were always so kind to us and our children. We will miss him greatly, and our hearts go out to all of his family members. We just recently learned of his death, and we apologize that we missed all the services for him. Please accept our condolences, and our prayers will be with all of you in this difficult time.
Fondly,
Chris...

May the joys that all of you shared
help comfort you
in this time of sorrow

We're so sorry to hear about your father and his wife.
Our thoughts are with you and your family
With Sympathy

When sorrow comes to us
and someone we love is gone
God blesses us with courage
and with strength to carry on.

Please know that the family
is in the thoughts of many who care deeply about you
and whose prayers are with you often during this time of sadness.

With Our Deepest Sympathy and Heartfelt Prayers

No matter how old we are,
losing a father is one
of the deepest sorrows a heart can know.
But his goodness, his caring,
and his wisdom live on--like a legacy
of love that will always be with you.
May the memory of his love
surround you now and bring you peace.

Life is eternal and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
So sorry for your loss.
Bruce and Lisa

We will miss a fantastic structural engineer. Leo listened, always put together good designs and continuously offered helpful words of encouragement and delight. Leo will be missed.
