I did not know Leon personally, but I knew his Mother Caroline, as she was visiting the residents of St. Richards Villa! My Mother was there for a short time, until she died on All Saints Day, at the ae of 99! she watched Caroline go from patient to patient, and my Mom said, Isn't she sweet? So that being said, I want to express my sincere Love for this family. a Nun in Fort Worth came to see my husband, while he was in hospital! she was from the Nasche family, and obviously we shared common stories, among them Laverne Hess Nasche! It is truly a small world, and my family began in Muenster, Texas! May God protect and Bless Muenster, Texas
