Leo has sure been a wonderful neighbor to us since we moved in over five years ago. He loved to talk and tell us stories. We will surely miss seeing him around.
Our condolences on your loss.
Rose Landey and Family
Sharee, please know that you and your family have my deepest expressions of sympathy on your loss.
Sheree,
Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of your loss.
We are very sorry for your loss. Please don’t hesitate to call us if there is anything at all we can do for you.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. How will we get anything done without Master Chief Leo here to tell us just how to do it right? He was a large presence whose absense will be noted by the universe.
With much love,
Cathy Pinky
