Leonardo Cruz

I may have only been his monitor while he attended Boces for a short period but his smile always made my day. The way he would hold my wrist as I secured him on the bus made me like he trusted me. My favorite part of the bus ride with him was when he would get so excited when we pulled on his street to drop him off at home. Fly high my sweet little buddy!

While I only drove Leo, for a short time to school, the way he used to grab my fingers while I was buckling him in and his smile, forever have touched my heart and soul in a way I cannot express, I am deeply saddened to hear of his passing, and express my deepest condolences to his family and those whose lives this little angel has touched, fly high and free little man
