At Ellie's graduation, there was a sweet wistfulness about watching her mingle with the guests. Her generous hospitality was so familiar. Then I was dumbfounded to hear Matt greet someone, only to hear an echo of Lenny again. I was envious, of all things. I remembered I thought - we should all be so lucky. We should all be so blessed as to have a little bit of Lenny in us.

I just wanted to say that Lenny was such a great person to talk to. He gave the best advise in life. So straight foward. I will miss him dearly. God bless him and his family.

Lenny was the only uncle I ever loved. I know he is looking down at us from heaven and his angels are with him. I honor and commend Lenny for his loving spirit and warm personality. I'll miss you Uncle Lenny, more than I could ever explain. To my AA buddy!

Leonard was a person who I learned from. He was a teacher. He showed me many things but always about dealing nicely with and caring about people. The tears well up inside me as I think of him- he will be missed and many tears will be shed over his passing. He will be in mine and the prayers of all who had the opportunity to know him.

My condolences to Elyse Madsen and Colin Jensen and Amy Jensen.
