Leonard,
We miss you so very much.
You live on forever in our hearts, and
your smile will always shine through...
friendship and love everlasting.

I'll never forget your smile, Lenny. And you humming along to the Beatles songs even when you couldn't remember much else. You always remembered kindness, you always remembered how to smile, how to reach your hand out and hold somebody else's. You are one of the kindest, most gentle men I've ever met in my life. You were a gift to this world. We will never forget you. Love, Kettie, Levi, Milo and Story.
