Jenny and Hannah.
Saying thanks to you both seems inadequate, but it’s all we can do.
Thank you for giving Leon the life that he enjoyed so much.
And thank you for giving him the care, particularly towards the end, that he so deserved.

Leon, loving and generous to our children when they were young. (Season family pool tickets, Warrnambool Showtime and Beach Carnival included many more rides over the years due to your generosity, big heart and thoughtfulness.)
You hated school and your dream was to leave, get a guitar, a dog and walk to Melbourne.
Loving and grateful memories.
Dream on.

but so is the love left behind.
We wish heaven had visiting hours.
Remembered with LOVE...
