Dear Polly & Family, We are so saddened to hear of Leon’s death. The highlight of the Carswell Family Reunions was to know that you and your family would be coming to North Carolina to Mom & Dad’s for the weekend, each August. The bond that developed between our family and yours was truly a special relationship. My Dad truly considered Leon one of his dearest friends. We will be praying for you and your family.

Dear Cousin Polly & family
I just have learned of Leon’s passing today 1-9-14 I have had medical problems still with my feet etc, as I had planned to visit you both again at the assisted living. I know it is hard not to have him with you physically, but now that he is with our Lord, he is rejoicing, and is patiently awaiting a reunion with you, whenever the Lord says it is time to reunite, Love you
Dear Polly and Family:
I’m so very sorry to hear of the loss of Leon. He was a good man!! We will all miss him. I will always remember the fun times I had with him. Going out for lunch or having him over to my house for a get together. Leon always had an interesting story to tell. You have my sympathy.
