Dear Petra and Leo,
I was just looking at Leo's graduation photo from LMU on my wall and wondering what that special boy was up to now. So sad to come upon this news in my search. You were such a wonderful couple, you really enjoyed one another. And together you were great parents. I am certain you each miss him very, very much. I remember how the two of you loved to laugh. I still enjoy the steins you got for me at graduation.
All my love, Ann Valdez

The loss of Leonard is like a big loss in our family. We will never forget his caring and loving sentiments towards our kids during their Montessori days and afterwards. We will miss him forever but also take comfort knowing he is in a better place. Our kids are better people because of Leonard and Petra. God bless your family and our deepest condolences. You will always be in our prayers and our hearts.

and at Peace!! I will never forget the good times we shared and your kindness towards me & Bunnykins while she attended Montessori & afterwards!! I'm still in shock at your sudden passing but I guess God needed you in Heaven rather than here on Earth!
We Love you and Miss you!!

Leonard was a wonderful, kind man, and the children loved you both in their time at Montessori - you were instrumental in their growth. They always enjoy going back just to visit their old school and we are missing him very much. We will not forget him and our hearts are with you.

Our sympathy to your family. We will always treasure the kindness of Leo towards our daughter while she attended school at Montessori. She loved walking to Mark Twain with Leo and their field trip lunches to Milk Barn. Leo was always so thoughtful and friendly to all the children. His gentle spirit and patience will be most remembered.
