Dear family and friends,
I want to communicate with so many of you who have been so wonderful to me and my family recently.
As you can imagine it has been a difficult time for us. Adjusting to the death of my dear husband Mark and father our our children is going to take some time. In addition are his parents Frank & Consuelo Leon, brother David R. Leon, sisters Angelica Rosado, Rosa Medina, Isabel Lizardo, and many other family members.
Thank you to everyone who came to the viewing on Friday afternoon. I really enjoyed seeing so many of you. Mark would have loved to greet you and give you a big hug too.
The Memorial Service on Saturday was so special for me. Mark was loved by many! The flowers were just beautiful! Thanks to all who sent them. Thanks to all the participants in the service. Soloists Linda Morgan, Angie Rosado, my dear church choir from New Hope Christian Fellowship and accompanist Phyllis Duke, Polytechnic School Choristers - what a special treat! All the music was so beautiful! Thank you Mr. Finch, Benji Logan, Sahil Shah, and Mia Fernandez for sharing special words with us. Also to all who shared memories of Mark. Thank you Pastor Pelley for being there for us through it all. Also Fred & Maryann Stevens, Larry Omasta, Larry Helscher, all the pallbearers, Roberta Martinez, and especially to my dear friend Tonita Fernandez who allowed God to work through her. She spent so much time and effort helping to make arrangements, planning the service, creating the program, and being there with me through everything! Special thanks to Jane who opened her home to us for the Repast/Reception. It was delicious! And special thanks to those who went above and beyond - you know who you are! God bless you all!
There is much business to attend to in addition to keeping up with the children's end of school activities. David is graduating from Polytechnic High School on June 5, 2008 and Daniel is graduation from Chandler middle school on June 12, 2008.
Thank you for your outpouring of love. We have received so many beautiful cards and encouraging words. In addition I am so grateful for the many love offerings that have come by way of donations. They will certainly help bridge the gap until other sources of income become available. Thanks to all who have given gifts to the children and I. They have cheered us up. Thank you to all the kids friends who have spent time with them and kept them busy while I was taking care of business. Also thank to all the great meals that have been delivered. I appreciate so much not having to cook while so busy.
Love,
Christine
