Dear Judy and Family,

I read about the passing of your father in the Notre Dame alumni newsletter. What a wonderful man! I remember him always helping me -- once picking me up after I fell off my bike on Fullerton and another time getting a cinder out of my eye after a trip with your family to Adventureland. I'm sure you have many wonderful memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

It is with great sadness that we've learned of Leo's passing. We will always remember his warm smile and sense of humor and feel blessed for his (and your) friendship. Leo is now at home and at peace as he's entered into eternal life with our Heavenly Father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
