My heartfelt condolences on the passing of Uncle Leon. I remember his gentleness, kindness, and his wry sense of humor. He loved plants and managed to grow a small lemon tree in a pot, setting on the step of an indoor stair case. You can garden all you want in heaven, Uncle Leon! Love and hugs to all who miss him.
