Dear Wanda and Family:
So sorry to hear of Leo’s passing. May he rest in peace.
May you all find solace in that he is no longer suffering and that he is reunited with God and loved ones.
In Deepest Sympathy,

I just heard the news of Mr. P’s passing. I have a very heavy heart right now. He was a wonderful man. I have many wonderful memories of Mr. and Mrs. P, their youth group which played a major role in my life. I just saw him before Christmas and talked to him in Price Chopper for almost an hour. He will be missed my many. My thoughts and prayers to the entire family. Fly high!
