Dear Brestan Family. I sent a message along with the picture, but for some reason only the picture was posted and not the message to you all. So, again, let me tell you all how my heart breaks to even be sending you my condolences of the passing of Leonard. He was one in a million and truly was a great big teddy bear. He left so many memories and stories to be told over and over. Tears will be shed, but the laughs and smiles they will bring will warm your hearts. You all know how I adored him. He was like a big brother and treated my just like another sister. We had so much fun in our younger days. It was always so apparent how much he loved his family. I will keep you all in my prayers during this difficult time moving forward. To Leonard. My dear friend. The stories are endless and the memories are cherished as I remember you and all the fun we had. The best was always the great challenge as to who can out prank who for birthdays. I recall some pretty good ones, some unable to post, but it was all in fun. Thank you for all you left here. A true legacy. It's your time now to soar with angels and be at peace with our Lord. And Please... be nice to the angels...no pranks! Love, Mary Lou, Jim and family.
