Maureen & family,
I was greatly saddened hearing of Len´s passing. Of course I believe he was met and embraced by Our Blessed Mother. He was a regular for us at SOMC for the past year and always arrived with a smile and a heart of gratitude. The last few weeks we could tell he was weakening although he never complained. He exuded a great strength even while he obviously was suffering with physical challenges and a realization that his life here was fading. I have been praying for him and you too during the times of his treatment. I will continue those prayers for you both as God continues to comfort you. Love in Christ, peg

Hey Cous,
Will never forget the good times we had at Maybrook and later at the Tambone hunting camp. The Tambone hunting tradition goes way back and I'll always cherish the time we spent together in the field. This is not good by but one day we'll meet up together again on a cold frosty morning with the sun just beginning to break hoping to spot that trophy buck.

My sincerest and most heart-felt sympathy to Maureen, Mike, Nick and all of Len's family and friends. I was lucky enough to have Len for my "big brother", and I will always cherish the conversations we had.
