It is over 10 years since Dr Lederer´s passing. I hope his wife and family have taken comfort from all the kind words spoken here about him. He still lives on thru so many and I was thinking about him today. My daughter who he helped bring into this world is graduating from high school in May and I am reminded how he changed our lives so many years ago with such a gift. He was such a kind gentleman. I brought my perfect baby girl into see him after she was born. He was so happy for us. Genuine through and through. God continue to bless him and his family. He is in our thoughts often.

I just found out about Dr. Lederer's passing. A wonderful human being has left us. He was such a wonderful, compassionate person. Before the birth of my daughter, I had suffered a setback and he was so warm and comforting as if he was a part of the family. My deepest condolences to his family and his work family who I know cared and respected him so much. Thank you Dr. Lederer. Because of you I was able to create a life that is the joy of our lives. May you rest in peace.

Dear family and friends of Dr. Lederer,
I received a letter from FCI yesterday and was shocked and saddened to read the news of Dr. Lederer's death.
I did not know he was sick and I am still digesting the great loss of this man who helped to bring hope and children to so many families who struggle with infertility.
I have fond memories of our consultations with Dr. Lederer before and after each ART cycle my family and I did with him, a few phone conversations I had with him and most memorably the day (October 11, 2007) he performed the embryo transfer which grew to be our precious baby girl Molly Marie.
My heart aches and goes out to his wife, children, other beloved family members, friends and all those whose lives Dr. Lederer touched throughout his life.
I am holding Dr. Lederer's loved ones close in my thoughts and prayers.
Words can't begin to express the gratitude and sadness I feel and that I know is shared by so many who knew Dr. Lederer.
Dr. Lederer never got to meet our baby girl Molly in this lifetime. As unlike many of his patients, we never had the opportunity to introduce Molly to the man who helped her come to be, because she died so soon after she was born. But I do find comfort in believing that Molly was among those who welcomed Dr. Lederer into Heaven. Imagining that meeting brings a smile to my face and tears to my eyes.
Rest in peace Dr. Lederer and thank you for everything.

Dr. Lederer is a very nice IVF physician. With his compassionate help for 2 years, I had my Aiden born last August. I didn't get time to send him a Christmas card with Aiden's picture until Dec 26. I hope he has got to see the picture, because he has always so much wanted to help me to have a child! He is deeply missed by me and my family.
