I´m so sorry for your loss. I will forever remember the time you both came to listen to a band for our wedding. Leon was an amazing person. I will miss him terribly. He made the best stuffing. We had some great times the four of us. Not to mention that special new years at your house. You are in my thoughts and prayers Lynn. God bless you through this difficult time.

I posted this on Friday and it didn´t show crazy.....
You guys have my deepest sympathy, my heart goes out to all of you, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. When we were growing up, our family hung a lot together, spend a lot of her childhood with them in a little past and some further, it was always great moments. I always enjoyed visiting with Leon, he always made me feel very welcome, always very kind, all Bresette did Steve, Stewart. Last time I saw him & his brothers was 13 years ago, it was at their Mom memorial service, wow I didn´t realize that time went by fast. Under the circumstances, we still had a great chat. Here´s one memory of many , we were living in Darrow in Evanston, he came by, asked me if I wanted to go for a ride I said sure let´s go. So we went and drove down Sheridan Road all the way through the ravines and back, we were going fast. I surely enjoy but at the same time a little scary. Another great time was at his wedding and his little son Garrett at the time got up and was on the floor dancing. He looks so cool, anyways I could say a lot more. It was a great time . But I enjoyed our times together always. I hope the memories you have of him get you through the difficult times and I hope when you think of this smile, it warms your heart. He will be missed by many and all. Give my grandson Jordan a hug for me, heaven must´ve needed another angel, there were so many family members to welcome you. Fly high in the sky Leon R.I.P.
