Hi Grandpa...I miss you. You were so easy to love. I will miss the simple things like sitting on my driveway with you and watching you chase and tease my kids...Man, they love their Gpa. What an honor that I got to be your granddaughter. What a beautiful legacy you have left for your family...one of integrity, character, hard work, love but most importantly faith in Jesus Christ. We can´t thank you enough for that example. I am so happy for you, Grandpa...You made it Home. I will love you until I see you in eternity and then I´ll keep loving you.
Your granddaughter, Heidi

Dearest LeRoy,
You are the love of my life. I miss you more than words can say. I want you back. We had such a good, happy marriage. My heart is broken. I will love you forever. Thanks be to God for getting us together.

Hi dad, what a blessing to have a man of your character and integrity as a mentor and as a father. You modeled a dedication to family and a work ethic second to none. I am not 1/2 the man you were but for whatever I have accomplished, I owe you much thanks. Looking forward to seeing you again, we can pickup where we left off, you can show me around. Say hi to everyone.... Love you, Roger

I love you dad. You gave us the best. We have had so many memories we are talking about and so many that your grandkids have been sharing- things even I had forgotten about that they remember. You loved us well. In your short time at Boden, you made such an impact and what they noticed is the love you had for your wife and family couldn´t be diminished by dementia.
