Our life spanned a circle of 37 years. We met in 1970 while working in the ICU at Detroit Receiving, married in 1972, lost a child and then we were blessed with a beautiful healthy baby whom we named Philippe. Sadly,our circle was complete when we were together again in an ICU during your final hours.

I grieve for what we once had, what was lost and what could never be.

Happy 63rd birthday tomorrow, Wil. You are forever in my prayers and will be missed.

My parents were both patients of
Dr. Leopando in the 70's and 80's. He was respected and admired by both of them. I have good memories of his bedside manner: sometimes soft and other times assertive. He will be missed by all.
