To My Dearest Uncle Lenny, I can think of no words that can express how I feel. I know that you are watching over each of us and love us all so very much. I will NEVER forget all the memories I have had with you. The always amusing jokes, the sound of your Harley thundering down the road, and your heart-warming laugh will stay with me forever and always. You will always be in my heart and I can't wait for the day when we can all be togther again. Love Always, Sara
