My dearest Uncle Leon,
You were one of the calmest, kindest, and most loving men I have ever known. My heart is broken, and you will be deeply missed by all of us. Your love, your gentle spirit, and your presence touched all of us.
We may never fully understand your untimely departure, but we trust that Heaven couldn't wait for you. As the Scripture says, "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord."
I will love you forever and always. Until we meet again... I'll see you later.
Rest peacefully, Uncle Leon. ❤️
I'm still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you are no longer here. I remember the last time we all laughed and talked and we talked about planning another trip and reenacting our legendary golf trip!🤣🤣 I know you know what I'm talking about. You were a great friend, brother in law and family member who always had a word of wisdom when I needed it. It's not going to be the same without you. I'm going to miss our shared discussion over shoes and golf. When you get to heaven, make sure you let me know how the greens are up there.😁🥲 Until next time, rest easy and hit them straight! Love and miss you bro.🪽💔
