Leonard E. DesJardins

Dear Dad,
On this Christmas Eve, 2013, I will always remember the memories of my childhood at Christmas, caroling in the neighborhood on Yeomans Rd, going sledding with my brothers and sisters, decorating the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve, being so excited, knowing Santa was coming. Life seemed so simple then. I' m happy Dad.
Merry Christmas,
I love you!
Judy :)

Dear Dad,
It has been nineteen weeks since you left me.As every day passes, so much sadness and emptiness that remains within me. I will never be the same, without having you in my life.I miss you more than words could every express.I love you Dad.
Love Always,
Judy

Dear Dad,
"Across the years I will walk with you- in deep green forests; on shore of sands and when our time on earth is through, in heaven,too, you will have my hand.
I miss you Dad,
Love your daughter,
Judy

Dearest Pepere, it is never easy to say good-bye to a loved one, especially someone as dynamic, kind and knowledgeable, as you always were. Some of my oldest and fondest memories include you and my brothers, always outside, always learning or trying something new. Thank you for all of your life's lessons-they will never be forgotten. I wouldn't be the person I am today without your guidance. I have to share my brother's sentiments - I miss the "simple times." Hopefully, when we meet again that is what we will all share: peace, love and simplicity. Until then, you will always be loved and missed but your memory will live on in my heart.

Pep, today was the day you finally got to rest. You earned it through many sacrifices throughout your life. I just wanted to say thank you for being the person who talked quietly but had so much thought and wisdom when you spoke. I am glad that Isaac was fortunate to grow up knowing you and spending time with you. For Drew he did get to meet and spend some time with you. One of the fondest times I can remember was when the whole family would get together on Mountain Road for Christmas. It just seemed so simple then.

Judy,
There is another angel to watch over you.Your love and memories will keep you strong.Sending my thoughts and prayers to you all.
Linda

Judy, please know our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this sad time.

Uncle Leonard--

The news of your passing reminded me that it has been too many years since we last met--and now you are gone and I am filled with regrets and flooded with memories. I will always remember you as a man of deep faith, integrity, hard work, and devotion to family, friends and community.
If ever there was a man who truly lived his faith, it was you. It came through in the way you carried yourself in life--patient, kind, unselfish. I have tried to keep your example in mind as a parent and as a professional. I will always remember your frequent, warm, if sometimes tired, smiles.

"The weight of this sad time we must obey;
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.
The oldest hath borne most:we that are young
Shall never see so much, nor live so long".
Rest in peace, Uncle Leonard

Pep, our memories with you for the 18 and 20 years together were nothing less then happiness and laughter. You were very instrumental in growing up for us because of the memories we shared together. You will be forever loved and missed, and we hope to meet again.
Love, your grandsons,
Conrad & Michael

Very sorry to hear about the passing of Pep. I have many fond memories of him. He will be in my prayers for some time.

It was an absolute honor and pleasure getting to know Leonard. He was truly a light in my life, and I really looked forward to bringing him Holy Communion. He enriched my life and deepenend my own faith by witnessing his. He will be greatly missed.
