Not sure what to say?

Dear Jim,

Your dad will always have a special place in my heart until my own dying day. I miss him terribly and so wanted to be at the funeral today. I heard you gave a beautiful eulogy and did him proud.

Such fond memories of him from over 30 years, and his voice and image in my head from so many good times and of course, his jokes. I can see him looking down today and saying to everyone at the service "If you're driving, be sure to have a car!"

Rest in...

So sorry to hear about the passing of Leonard. He is in a better place and is now at peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family....

It is never easy losing a loved one, but perhaps, thinking of your father, at a far better place, free from pain, suffering, cradled in God's loving arms, in the company of the saints, angels, our Blessed Mother Mary,...

I always am thankful for Uncle Leonard taking me to my first college football game, at Norte Dame of course. He always had a funny story or a joke to tell. I am glad he is now at peace. My deepest sympathy to his family.
