I have just heard of the heartbreaking news, and I just want to say how terribly sorry I am for your family and the loss you have endured. I remember from growing up with all of you, that your father was a GEM. Compassionate and funny. He was always very nice. Some say that just because it seems they are gone, does not mean THEY really are. I for one, understand and know fully how you all must feel. I lost my father so early in 2003 and I still feel him present with me. Though I still miss him every moment, I feel he is not gone, but just here, all around me just as Leo is all around you, the air you breathe, the warm sun that rests on your skin and a gentle breeze that cools you down on a hot day. The rain drops that tip toe across your cheek when you look up to him and say hello. He will be there watching over you just as mine has been; And always will. You know you all are in my heart and I am very sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace and may you all find a way to overcome the sorrow as you mourn his loss.
