Margie and Debbie, I had the privilege of working with Sgt Torres. Leo always had stories to tell us about his family. He was very proud of you, Margie and his daughter Debbie.

Thank you for showing us how to keep our faith with God. There may be no words to make you girls feel better, but God will always take care of you both. Leo will always...

Leo, I will never forget that you were a good cadet, and we will always treasure these Rotc Memories and you did a good job of serving your country , and Leo may you serve peace with Jesus and keep up with your code of honor, and you are now in "Gods Army." "FAREWELL MY FELLOW CADET."

My deepest condolences to Margie and Debbie Torres. The two toughest girls I know. Debbie loses her Alvarez grandparents who loved her deeply.. nd now three years later her beloved father! I believe Debbie is the strongest person I have ever met! She takes her mother's hand and says "its ok.. I will be here by ur side!" And after her world being turned upside down she still receives everyone with a warm smile and a hug. The most loving girl I have ever met. She truly takes after her father...

I will see you again some day. Until then rest easy. And remember your P.M.C.S..

My name is Richard and sadly i am out of state right now. I served with Leonel in the reserves for five years before he transferred to the 370th. Most of which I worked directly beneath him in the motor pool, including most of our tour in Iraq. I could go on with buddy stories of our service together but the one memory that stands above all else is the time he helped my civilian life. About six months before we found out about the deployment I had lost my job. The next weekend was drill...

My deepest condolences to the Torres Family....

Letting go, even if it hurts, doesn't mean you have to let go of everything . You just have to let go of the person but the memories will always be there. Remember love is letting go love is being able to say goodbye because you know it's the best thing for him....Margie we LOVE YOU...Jess.....
