    Aunt Carol,

    I had not called you as I know how difficult and overwhelming everything is for you right now. You know I understand your sorrow and wish I could be there to offer any consolation I possibly could. Please know I am thinking and praying for you. I know Dad is welcoming him with open arms and that he now has some companionship. If there is ANYTHING I can help you with or do for you please don’t hesitate to call me. I love you and I am with you even though I’m not there.

    Love Florence

    Dear Carol,

    Linda and I empathize with you and share in your loss of LeRoy. As you know LeRoy was a very, very close and dear friend. We shall cherish for ever the time that we spent together over the last 13 or so years.

    To know LeRoy was to love him. He was a true friend and fun to be around. LeRoy always treated us as family, special family. His sense of humor and generosity was over the top and he always had a comment that would make us laugh sometimes hysterically!

    Although his physical presence will be truly missed, his spirt will forever be in our hearts and daily thoughts.

    I would be remis if I didn’t mention his love for our pets Marco and Sadie. Anyone who knew LeRoy was immediately aware of his special love for his animals and for that matter all of God’s animals.

    May the Perpetual Light Of Our Lord Jesus Christ Shine Upon Him and You Carol for Ever and Ever.

    Mario, Linda, Marco & Sadie Tristany

    So sorry for your loss and a loss for so many. Due to my Doctors tests I won’t be able to attend today. I often reflect on the times Roy and I were in the union and did battle with the State. He was a true friend to all who knew him and always willing to help if there was a problem..His pain is now gone and God has a special place for dog lovers. He is now with his beloved dogs. So long Roy and may god bless you a true friend..
    Jim and Joyce

    Carol,

    So sorry to hear about LeRoy. He was a great guy and I will always remember our wonderful rides to UConn and back. Those were good times. I always loved that he would play the country music. My thoughts are with you.
