This past week we attended a funeral service in Orlando. A dear longtime friend has departed this ole earth but the memory of him and the legacy he leaves behind will long be in my memory bank as it will be for the so many who knew him.I am confident Leo left a positive touch on those he encountered throughout his 94 years. Even til the last day of his earthly existence, he always put forward an active "can do" effort never ceasing to give in to several types of cancer over the past several years. His ongoing attitude constantly looking to the future is a "true legacy" in itself. He was an avid golfer all his life even playing only two weeks prior to his final day. On his last day he had traveled a distance for a family event and upon returning home, he had backed his car into a narrow section of his garage (I still can't do that!). That evening while settled in to his favorite chair, watching TV, He went to sleep and woke up in heaven.
We all will miss you my dear friend. If you can somehow hear me, I just want to say "thank you" for touching so many lives and "thank you" for truly "LEAVING A LEGACY" in its truest form.
In favor to Leo, here is an Anonymous poem:
" Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there. I do not sleep,
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am a diamond glint on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain,
When you wake in the morning hush;
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night,
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep."
