May cherished memories live on bringing comfort to grieving families and friends as your beloved Leroy R.I.P

My condolences and heartfelt sympathies are offered to Jamie, Keith and Glenn and their families on the passing of their beloved father/grandfather. As Leroy's first cousin, his mom and my mom were sisters,i remember his high school and college, medical school years through the eyes of my aunt and uncle who were so very proud of him. I remember his kindness besides his brilliance and he will be sorely missed.

To the Engel Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

May the God of all comfort be with the family and friends at this difficult time.
