Elva and family: I will always remember Leo as a very kind and gentle person. He was very caring along with you with my daughter, Joyce, when you both took such great care of her for me. I will always appreciate that. My prayers are with you. I remember Joyce hugging Leo's leg and she wouldn't let him walk when she would see him. You were lucky to have had him in your life.

It may be raining in your heart, so the days may feel dark and gloomy... just know that the sun is sure to follow just as the day follows night. I hope you find joy and comfort in all the good memories that will live on of Leo, just as sure he is to live on in your heart.
Blessings to you and family, Jessica Earl
