Mark, Wendy, and Kevin,
My heart goes out to you at the news of Leo's death, and especially now that both of your parents have died. But you have been blessed to have two very warm, loving parents. I wish we could have spent some time with you at the wake and mass, but the distance is too great. I've been thinking of you all week and Leo and all of you will be remembered in the prayers of First Church in Middletown this Sunday.
Love,
John and Robin

We are very sorry for your loss, we
also feel the saddness as you do.
I know he has been waiting for this, because he said he has had a good life and traveled where he has wanted to. The suffering is no longer.
If we can help you and your family
in any way, please feel free to let us know.
I know he is with those that have been in his life and are gone.

Our parents George and Mary Miller enjoyed many meals and (happy hours!!!) with Leo, Jean and then Deloris in warm sunny Texas. My father always spoke very highly of Leo and his family. George died in 2001 and Mary is living in an assisted living home in Osseo, MN. We would like to extend our smypathy to your family. The children of George and Mary MIller.

Leo,
I have been a big part of your life and i am grateful. I can not speak at your funeral,I get to emotional.I
have been thinking of all the years.
You were always there for me.
The times when you and i would streak our hair.If i put it off you would ask mom to remind me you wanted your hair colored. That was alot of fun when you,mom and me would gather in the bathroom to do this and have alot of laughs.Or the times i would come home in the middle of the night with white castles,and we would sit and talk and eat. You would always look forward to the burgers. If i did not bring them home you both wondered why. Leo we had some good years together and i will never forget them. I remember a few times it was easier for me to come to you instead of mom. I want to thank you for making my mom's life happy, you made her golden years,GOLDEN.I will miss you Leo.Brandi will always think of you as her grandpa.
With all my love,rest in peace.

We learned from our father this morning that Leo had passed away and also later that Wendy had called to make sure we knew.
We're very sorry we can't be there for the services, but we'll be thinking about you all.
