Dear DeLeon family, I am sorry for your loss, Mrs.DeLeon was driving the school bus when I was a student at St Anthony's school and rode the bus somewhere between the late 60's and early 70's. I always knew when Mrs. Deleon was driving we would get to our destination safe. She made me fill secure like my mom was driving, and would take care of me if anything happened.I hadnt seen Mrs. DeLeon since the early 70's but will always remember her for the way she cared for all of us she delivered to and from school.
My prayers are with your family.God Bless you all.

Grandpa, I am so sorry for your loss, I know its hard to let someone you love go on to the BETTER place without us, but she is there in GREAT company, with love ones that has passed before her, they are preparing our place when its our time to rejoin them. I wish we could be there to give you comfort and pay our respects to grandma but with my father in law passing recently we are unable to afford it. But just know that our hearts are heavy in letting Grandma go, and she will be truely missed. We Love you all very much.
