Dad,
I will always think of you and cherish the time we had together. Thanks for always being there for me and loving me unconditionally.

You are a true hero. You are the bravest man I know and I will miss you dearly.

Leon was a kind and friendly man, who I am glad to have met. I volunteer at Peace Hospice and always looked forward to seeing his smiling face and friendly conversations. It will be very quiet and empty without him, his scanner and all his teddybears. I know he is in a better place. My deepest sympathys to all his family.
