Messages of Condolence

Louise, your love for Len and the kindness with which you always spoke of him demonstrated a beautiful kind of love .I only met him a few times through our book club get togethers, but it was easy to see through all his treatments what a gracious, kind and overall joyful person he was. I’m certain of the sadness of his passing but am also certain that you embrace and are grateful for the many blessed years you all had together. Sending love and hugs xox
