Aunt Martha, I was so glad to talk to you today. Talking to you brings back alot of good memories. Most of all the love you and Uncle Leo shared. I know God will give you strength to get by each and everyday. He will also help you make the many decisions in the next year that you will face. Just take your time deciding what you would like to do. I will try to call you every week or so to check up on you. God bless you always. All my love, Melanie.
Aunt Martha, I was so very sad to hear of Uncle Leo’s passing. I know that we have not seen each other in a long time, but please know that you were both loved. All my love, Melanie Dufaud, Mick’s daughter.
Aunt Martha, just like we talked about this morning, Uncle Leo is in a better place. He and dad are looking down from heaven right now at all of us waiting until we all can be together again. Love you, Lynn
Martha,
So sorry to hear about Uncle Leo’s passing. I am the daughter of his half-sister, Dorothy Kasko Kuchinka. I was growing up when Uncle Leo was in the Marines and he wrote to me and sent me a necklace with the Marine emblem on it and it meant a lot to me.
You will be in my prayers.
