Hi Justina,
I am deeply saddened to hear of Leonard's passing and your great loss. Although we did not see each other often, the both of you have frequently been in my thoughts, especially more so recently, having heard from Shirley, that Leonard was not feeling very good. I am also saddened that I was not able to come and see you earlier.
I will always remember our good times together when we were younger, working away from home in Ontario and Alberta. We travelled together in Leonard's Cutlass, and had many laughs, as we found our way into the work force as young teenagers.
Even before that, as younger kids, we farmed next door to Leonard and his family, and what I remember most was their tremendous hospitality and generosity. We became instant friends, the very first day we met.
I want to express my deepest sympathy to you. In John 11: 25, Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live." May the Lord hold you close, comfort you, and give you peace and hope.
My prayers are with you,
Love, Brian Peters
