Dear Anderson Family,

So sorry to learn of your loss. I never had the opportunity to know Leif, but from those who knew him, I understand that Leif was a great man and an example to many. May he now rest in God's arms.

Sorry for your loss. Leif was our neighbor when he lived in Lindenhurst. Nice and friendly person. He would drive through our neighborhood often and would stop and talk with a few of us if we were outside. Saw him and talked with him about a week and a half ago. He looked good and seemed very happy, so we were very shocked to hear about his passing. Don't get the Tribune Newspaper, so we were unaware of this. A co-worker of my husband's told us about it. May God comfort you in the days ahead.

Olga, words can not express how sorry we are and how much Leif will be missed in the neighborhood! He was like the mayor of Oak Knoll. We are here for you if you need anything at all.
