    Dear Sandra and family
    I was truly saddened in the hearing of your loss.
    But truly happy to hear that Leo is now receiving his reward.
    And a very rich reward it is for such a godly and kind man.
    Your father was my pastor for a time.
    Many lessons I learned from his sermons and from his life. He taught me what humble service and dedication to God looks like. He taught me to.hear God’s voice in the simplest message.
    It was truly a privilege to have known him because he enriched me.
    I offer my deepest sympathy
    Johanne Buckland
