This brings me to tears. I know he probably cried a tear or two. It is really overwhelming.

'You guys are too much!
Overwhelmed.
Will reply to this astonishing kindness when I can find the words.

Love and Blessings,
Leonard'

What lovely sentiments from Leonard. I am so thrilled that he obviously loves his gifts. Thanks for sharing this Jarkko.

Jarkko, do you know if Esther got to read our card that we signed for her in Dublin?
Thanks
Olwen

***we don't know but I'd say no; she was in hospital already at the time the card arrived in New York / Jarkko***

Almost in tears about Leonard's reaction. So touching and heartfelt... Thanks to Jarkko for passing Leonard's sentiments along, and of course to Leonard for expressing them. With gratitude - P
