Leo R. Segalla Sr.

Mary Lynn,
I am so sorry to hear of Leo's death. He was a wonderful man. Our sympathy goes to you and your family. I just read of his death from the Right to Life emails I receive then looked him up to see if that was your Leo.

I am so glad I was there the first year for Camp Joshua and got to meet Mr. Leo. He was such a sweet kind hearted man. He will always be remembered for the great things he has done for the time he was here.

Words cannot transcend the loss your family has endured. Mr. Leo was an exceptional man. Please know I feel it was an honor and a privilege to be his nurse. He will be truely missed. Your family will be in my prayers. May God's love bring you peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Mary Lynn & family--I didn't know Leo personally, but I've heard so many wonderful things about him. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you--I know you cherish the time you've had with him.

Our deepest sympathies, he was a kind soul and always treated us with love and respect. From Michelle, Alan, James, Robert and little Laura.

I am sorry for your loss. I am unable to attend tonight, but you and yours are in my prayers.

We were so honored to know Mr. Leo through Camp Joshua. He was a wonderful leader, and his legacy will leave a lasting imprint on Louisiana!

Mary Lynn,

Our hearts are heavy in Leo's passing. He was such a genuine "gentle-man". Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and family. Many of us here with Msgr. Carroll A. Badeaux Council #3054 have many fond memories of Leo as a dedicated leader of the Knights of Columbus and its Pro-Life Programs. May he Rest in Peace and may God's Blessings be upon all of you.

Mary Lynn and family,
Our deepest sympathy is extended to you and your family at this time. You are in our thoughts an prayers.

My Dearest Mary Lynn and Family
My heart goes out to you and your family at this time of deep sorrow and lost. Although I have not seen my cousin in many years he was a inspiration to my Knighthood. I am a Knight in Southern California. I was appointed District Deputy of my area. I truly will remember all the good times when Bucky stopped to say hello to my mother and father years ago, and when I was growing up in Canaan. My Mother is Liz Segalla Ohler. My prayers are with you and your family. God Bless, Vivat Jesus Michael Ohler (Bucky's Cousin)

Dear Andrea,

I am very sorry to hear about your dad. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Mary Lynn,

I am so sorry to hear of Leo's passing. I know the love you two had for each other was very deep. I pray all the wonderful memories together will give you strength to endure the days ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

We were sad to hear of Leo's passing. He was an outstanding warrior for the unborn and a model whom all of us should follow. He will long be remembered for his dedication to Respect for Life causes and his shoes will be difficult to fill.

On a personal note, I thank Leo for talking me into becoming a member of the Knights of Columbus. In addition to all his accomplishments, Leo was a great friend.

Our sympathies are with Mary Lynn and his extended family.

So many people imagine that death cruelly separates us from our loved ones. Even pious people are led to believe this great and sad mistake. When our loved ones die, they do not leave us. They remain. They do not go to some dark and distant place. They simply begin their eternity. We do not see them because we are still in the darkness of the world. But their spiritual eyes, filled with the light of heaven, are always watching us as they wait for the day when we shall share their perfect joy. We are all born for heaven and one by one we end this life of tears to begin our life of love in endless happiness.

I have often reflected upon this beautiful truth and found it the greatest and surest comfort in time of mourning. A firm faith in the real and continual presence of our loved ones has brought the conviction and consolation that death has not destroyed them, nor carried them away. Rather it has given them life! A life with power to know fully and to love perfectly! With this new life and new power our loved ones are always present to us, knowing and loving us more than ever before.

The tears that dampen eyes in time of mourning are tears of homesickness, tears of longing for our loved ones. But it is we who are away from home, not they. Death has been for them a doorway to an eternal home. And only because this heavenly home is invisible to our worldly eyes, we cannot see them so near us. Yet, they are with us, lovingly and tenderly waiting for the day when we, too, will enter the doorway of our eternal home.

No death is a separation. It is a preparation for eternal union with those we love, in the peace and joy of heaven.

Leo is a man who has always done God's work. Never by appointment, but by leadership. His obituary is only a glimpse of his accomblishments. Many children owe thier lives to a man that work hard as a pro-life person to save them. He will be missed by many who's life he touched. He worked hard for God who is holding him close now. His family is great and his wife is part of his strenght. My his love be always with you.
He was my Hero!
