Leeming family~I was so saddened to hear of your Dad's passing. The old neighborhood is just not the same anymore. I hope your Dad is at peace and comfort now with our Lord. My Mother is very sick now too and I know how hard it is to go thru something like this. My prayers are with you all. Love, Laurie

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
When ever we think of you Uncle this verse comes to mind. We know you will continue to watch over us as you have always done.
Love you much!
Dave & Sarah
