Please accept our condolences. Mr. Kaiser seemed like a very good person I just wanted to encourage the family by saying that God promises to remove the sting of death soon. All of those who have died in his his memory will live again. What a wonderful day that will be.

My deepest and hearfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family. Mr Kaiser seemed like a wonderful individual to have known. The bible brings out that there will be a time when we will see our loved ones again. Scriptures like that bring me comfort, especially knowing that one day I will see my family as well as Mr Kaiser soon.

As one of Leo's old St. Augustine's

(now closed) schoolmates, we mourn the passing of another distinguished St. Augustine School alumnus. We will remember Leo at our next reunion Mass in two years--and we have also sent a Mass in his name to Holy Cross Parish (Baden),

the next operating parish nearest to the old St. Augustine parish territory. Know his (remaining) schoolmates will pray for his soul.

Regards, George Pfister

St. Augustine (Hebert & Lismore)

Alumni Assn

(we saw Leo's notice in the Suburban Journal).
