Sent a gift in memory of Carol J. Leonard
Remembering when we first met through our real estate venture. Learning and sharing but most of the time laughing and complaining. During those years we became a community of friends sharing our joys and our sorrows. You were a part of my life as a co worker, but mostly a dear friend along with your dear husband Dan. You will be missed and have passed on way before your time. God bless you and your family. Joanne and Sy
Carol, I hope you know how much you are loved, and how much we will all miss you. We have such happy memories of time spent with you and Dan in each others’ homes and at museums in Boston and restaurants in Gloucester and the Farmer’s Market here in Sarasota, but most especially the wonderful visits, all together, with Marj and Tim and our beloved granddaughters, Kayla and Alison. You were such a good, kind, decent person and friend. Our deepest sympathy to Tim and Marj and the girls, to Rick and Chris, and most especially to Dan. Be at peace. Love, Laura and Steve
