Condolences

I am saddened to know that Leonard is no longer with us here on earth, but I also know he is no longer suffering. I'm sure that there is a happy reunion, probably a big square dance going on in heaven, with those who have passed on previously. I will continue to keep Fran and the entire Houck family in my prayers.
