Janie & Daughters:
Our deepest sympathy in the loss of Leonard. I know how much he suffered-every breath he took was a labored task for many years. I know he is at rest and breathing comfortably. I'm sorry we couldn't connect during the short time you were near Chicago recently and pray you are on your way to recovering. We will keep you all in our prayers.
