Our deepest sympathy to Colleen, the Burley family and our O’Brien cousins on the passing of Leon. A perfect lady, devoted selflessly to her family and welcoming and embracing all within that family sphere. Our childhood memories of our Aunty Mary invariably feature Leon and Colleen.

May She Rest inPeace.

Leon, I will forever cherish the memories. You were nothing short of extraordinary – not that you would ever accept such a compliment.
From your unconditional love, your unparalleled sense of selflessness and grace in abundance, I feel so unbelievably blessed to have had you in my life.
I will miss the laughs, the baking advice hotline and your beautiful handwritten cards, never to be repeated again.
My love goes out to Colleen. The level of care that she provided you was unwavering and incomparable.
May you Rest in Peace alongside Nanna and Pa, and your brother Murray.
I will miss you tremendously.
Until we meet again.
