We wish to express our sincere condolences to you at this time of sorrow. May the love of friends and family be a source of comfort to you. Leon is in God's care now, and oh, what better care could we ever ask for him. Praise God for His infinite grace, and the strength He will give your family to deal with the overwhelming feeling of "loss" you must be experiencing today. May he keep you in His tender care and love for all eternity, and may infinite peace be with you always.

In Christ,
