I can't tell you in words how sorry I am for your family. There are no spoken words that can get across my love for your dad and entire family. Spring could never arrive fast enough so that the VanHagens could start making the weekend pilgrimages to Morning View from Villa Hills. I have thanked mom (and dad in heaven) so many times for finding our camp in 1970. I should thank the Fords too since they were why we looked for a camp! LeeRoy and Carol were so good to me. I always felt so welcome at your house. They were the parents I wished I had sometimes. You know kids, the grass is always greener! But when my own mother wouldn't talk to me because I was pregnant, LeeRoy invited me to stay there. Of course mom said no. Anyway, I am so sad but my memories of LeeRoy are so happy. Your family is always!!! in my thoughts. I will pray for you in this difficult time that you find some consolation in knowing that others loved LeeRoy very much. I guess Cindy was getting lonely! I love you all -Carol, Mike, Cathy,Paula and Sherry (you are the best friend I have ever had - there will never be another friend like you!). Love Sue
