Leo Isaac Tobin

Leo Isaac Tobin
Beloved son of Sarah (St. Sarah) and Austin (St. Constantine) Tobin. Beloved godson of Luke (St. Luke) and Junna (St. Junia) Cloud.
Leo Tobin passed on 6 August, 2023, at age 7 months. His due date was October 7th. Leo is and was loved beyond measure by his parents, Sarah and Austin, before he was able to meet them.
We do not grieve as those who have no hope, but as those who are certain that Christ Jesus, at His return, will bring with Him Leo and all those who have fallen asleep before us. And at the shout of the Archangel's voice, Sarah, Austin, and all who grieve with them, will meet Leo face to face. Until that time, we ask that you grieve with the Tobin family.
One way that we may grieve together is to pray a prayer for departed infants:
O Lord, who watches over little children in this present life and in the life which is to come because of their simplicity of mind and innocence, satisfying them in Abraham's bosom and bringing them to brightly radiant places where the spirits of the righteous dwell: Receive in peace the soul of thy servant, the child Leo, for thou thyself hast said: Suffer the little children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. For thou art the Resurrection and the Life and the Repose of thy departed servant Leo, O Christ our God, and unto Thee we ascribe glory, together with thine unoriginate Father and thine all-holy and good and life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
We also may read the Psalms as an offering to God on behalf of Leo. Please also pray for Valery and the Alaniz family, who have been with us in this journey and are grieving with us in this difficult time.
