Olivia and sons,
I want you to know that you are all in my prayers for strength and peace during this time of family healing.
Leo was very special to me as a client and then friend, and I will truly miss him.
I will always remember Leo's way of making me laugh over things he would say, and the way he loved his sweets. He would always ask me if there was anything sweet to eat in the house and try to make me believe it had been months since he had any.
I loved the way he talked about you Olivia, and how you were the most important thing in his life.
Leo was easy to take care of, and was the highlight of my day when I was with him.
Leo will always be in my heart.
God Bless you and your family always,
Lynda Epton

Libby, and Family
Viv and I are so sorry to hear about Leo Passing away. We will always remember him as a very dear friend. He was always ready to help with any chore at our Lady of Guadalupe Church, and Bingo in Colorado Springs. We know that he had been ill for a long time. Now he is no longer suffering, he has a special place in heaven with Jesus, and the rest of his family. Viv and I just returned from a trip to Manassa, Colorado we were there for his Mother's funeral. She passed away last Sunday. Remember that you and all your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. We pray that God will send you strength and comfort when you remember all the wonderful memories Leo left you.
