Effie, Richard & family...Thinking of you today as you celebrate uncle Leo's life. My family had the pleasure of his wonderful company since Oct. as you know but yet we felt he was our friend for much longer.He often shared his chair & space in his room when we would visit dad with great pleasure. I will miss his greeting me with "hello sweetie" on my daily visits.We always admired his independence and fought to keep it to the end. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Uncle Leo is smiling down on you today with pride and i'm sure is happy to be at peace with no more pain. This is a little something I read recently and thought I'd share with you: God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way. May all the treasured memories you have of uncle Leo help you through this difficult time. Best Regards, Mary, Reg, John and family.
