Dear Garrett,



My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. He always spoke so proudly of you and Dennis. I am happy I had the opportunity to introduce my daughter to him (last May)at a St. Leonard Holy Name Society function as a good friend of her grandpa Ledvort (who passed before she was born). I am proud to have been his friend.
