Dear Tara and family...
We express our sincere sympathy to you and your family. Lenny left an impact on all that we can now treasure and improve our own daily living. He showed us laughter, love, courage, and the reason to live and have fun now!
I will not forget the night we all joined at the Firehouse and just laughed for hours upon hours. That was the start of Lenny showing us we all need to take a break and just get together to enjoy everyone's company. Maybe the group here in NJ can gather one night each year to celebrate what Lenny gave us.... great memories!!!
Wishing you and your family better days.
With all our love,
Denise and Harvey Miller and family

To The Weiss Family,
I just returned from a 10 day vacation, and read about the passing of your Dad (Lenny). I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Lenny was a student of mine at Butler High School. On any given day, the atmosphere of our class was elevated by Lenny's humor and laughter. I will always be thankful for getting the chance to see Lenny at a local beefsteak dinner two years ago. At that time, he looked wonderful, and his outlook was upbeat and very optimistic. He was being so Lenny. I will miss him, and I will pray that your family, and all of Lenny's many friends, will be comforted by years of special, happy memories.

While just returning home from Minnesota after spending the week with the Weiss family, i feel the need to let everyone know how wonderful the family,friends, and community of the Hastings area are. It is very clear that Lenny not only left his impression on us here in NJ. but he has also left his mark in Minnesota. It's such a warm feeling to see and meet Lenny's other family that he surrounded himself with from Mn. The Jersey friends and family can rest assure that the showing of love and support for Lenny, Tara and family that Bobby, Steve,and I observed was absolutely second to none. 750 people plus at the wake, along with a very large showing the day of the funeral. Once again it is very clear to me that Minnesota loved Lenny and his family as much as we did here in NJ. Again I want to thank all the people of the Hastings area and of course all those Donahues' what a great family, for their hospitality and love that you endured on our loving friend Lenny. The battle, pain, and suffering is now over for Lenny but he will always be in our loving hearts until the day we can embrace him once again. I love all you guys for caring for Lenny and his family. Thanks so very much your all the best.

Dear Tara, Maggie and Little Lenny,
Mere words could not possibly express condolence to you at your loss. Lenny was a wonderful guy to know and from what I read from Maggie on the main page of this site he was a great father and husband. Joan and I were greatly saddened to hear that Lenny has passed away but we did feel some gladness that his long suffering was finally over. Lenny is in a much better place now where their is no cancer and no pain. We wish you all the best in the trying days and months ahead.

Dear Tara, Maggie and Little Lenny, Our heartfelt sympathy and love goes out to all of you. It is so wonderful to read all of the tributes written here for Lenny. It truly shows how much he was loved and will be missed by everyone who had the good fortune to know him; however, I would like to reminisce a little. I remember when Lenny was born. His mom, Phyllis, and I were best friends and I was honored when his mom and dad asked me to be Lenny’s godmother. He was a happy baby who grew to be a handsome and loving young man . Even as a young boy, I can remember him always smiling or joking or teasing his mom. There were always a lot of friends around, especially at the wonderful parties at their house on Hilltop Terrace, whether it was for a birthday, graduation or whatever. Once he left for college, we didn’t get to see him as often, except one time when I believe we met you, Tara, at his parents' house. After so many years, I was thrilled to finally meet Little Lenny and Maggie at Disney World several years ago. Maggie, you said it all in your beautiful tribute to your dad...may he rest now in peace. Our love and prayers are with you all.

Dear Tara, Maggie & Lenny,
Lenny was a wonderful man. He was kind to everyone and always had a smile on his face, even when faced with such a hardship as cancer. We will miss seeing him at the ice arena and also at all the Special Olympics events. He was taken too soon, but I hope you know how lucky we all were to have had him in our lives. Please know so many are praying for you and grieving with you. You have been through so much lately. Take good care of each other.

First, I have to tell you how sorry I am to hear about Lenny. What a truly noble fight he put up and I have no doubt it was because of his love for you three. He was a heck of guy as noted in all of these tributes! Secondly, I must congratulate Maggie on her wonderful tribute to her dad. Maggie, you captured his spirit beautifully! I guess playing the violin isn't your only talent. God bless you all in the days ahead. You will all be in my prayers.

I want to send you my deepest regards for Lenny. Lenny was one of the first coaches that I met at a Special Olympics event back in 2002 and what an impression he made. He was everything you could want in a coach and friend. I feel very blessed to have known Lenny and will keep you all in my prayers. Thank you for sharing his beautiful life with us and know that you are an amazing family that will prevail - you had a great husband and dad that taught you to be strong and to love! Take care and God Bless.

Jen and I wish to send you all our love and caring thoughts. We are both very saddened by the passing of such a wonderful man as Lenny. His presence at Special Olympics meets and practices were always a treat for the athletes, and ourselves. His gentle demeanor and laughter would always fill the room, and his smile was always contagious. He truly was a big man, with a very big heart, and one that cannot ever be taken away completely. His warmth and love will always shine upon us all, until we meet him again.

Dear Tara, Maggie and Lenny -
As I read the memorials in the guestbook, there is one recurring theme - Lenny's family, friends and co-workers are better people having known him. That certainly is true for his co-workers. Lenny was a generous, kind and fun-loving man. He was more than a pleasure to work with and talked of you, Maggie and Lenny so often, we, at Dakota County felt part of your loving family. We will miss him and will think of you often. Jen Springsted

Hi Lennie - Jen said they saw you yesterday; Kristine said she stopped today to see you and you looked good. You should have seen Kristine in front of the County Board. Her presentation on Cedar Avenue was articulate, passionate - absolutely fantastic. There sure are a lot of talented people in Transportation - including you. Miss you and your smiling face.

Hi Lenny,
I have to tell you what a great son you have! The last time he was over Jeffrey made a mess (a big mess) with an over flooded toilet! Little Lenny helped him with the clean up. Not many friends would do that! What a great kid! I hope you're enjoying the nice weather, and I'm sure you're looking forward to your Florida trip! Have a good week! Julie

Good wishes from another fellow employee from the East (Hastings). There's a saying "I'd rather be fishing...", well, I'd rather be sharing a cold one with you at another County event! I won't be able to attend on the 8th, but know the event will be a huge success. Presidential candidates could take lessons from YOUR committee...!

Hi Lenny,
If you are sleeping alot, you probably won't be at the tournaments this coming weekend. Our team isn't doing as good as your team, but we are in the playoffs. Must have bought a spot or something.
I guess we just slide in under the wire from what I hear.
Hope you start feeling better pretty soon.
I complain about this crud I got on Dec. 15th and I'm still coughing.
I'm sure it's nothing compared to what you are going through.
Hang in there! Hope you can stay awake a little bit and catch some of the tournaments! If you need any help hauling Lenny around at all, or anything else, feel free to call. Home 651-437-7567
Take Care Lenny and I'll see you at the party March 8th.

Hello Weiss Family.... Lenny so glad to hear you only have 2 more chemo sessions.....almost done....yeah....Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know we will not be able to attend your benefit.....soooo sorry!!! I wish we could attend, but our kids are flying out on the 5th of March, so we need to be there.Have a wonderful time, I'm sure it will be a huge success. We will be leaving for Florida on the 1st of March. We did buy a book of tickets, so if we win the TV (lol) you can borrow it until we get back (lol). Fat chance of that.... Oh buy the way, George fixed your air compressor and put it back in the barn. He hasn't been to the cabin yet, so hasn't used your trailer. It sits beside our house. Weather permitting, he will try and go before we go south, otherwise the trailer will return. Will keep in touch. Did I read that you and Tara had birthdays? Happy Birthday to both of you. Take care Lenny, will keep praying for you.

Hi Lenny!!! Hope you were able to celebrate your birthday a bit!! Do you remember that we used to have to coordinate bringing in cupcakes and party stuff when in grammar school since our birthdays are so close? They didn't want two birthday parties on the same day. Just think of all the sugar we consumed in February! We must have been bouncing off the walls...our poor teachers! You must be doing a huge countdown for that last treatment...I think we all are! Tara, thank you as always for keeping us all in touch. I'll talk to you soon!

Hi Lenny. Hope you are doing well and get more good news this week. Thinking of you all the time. We are having a real cold front this week - I've been off with TJ because the high school is having weekly testing and he's not part of it. Lots of time to clean house (no fun). I like the warmer weather so much better - should have planned the move south instead of north of NJ, ya think? Anyway, it's good to get updates from Tara on how you are doing. Stay well friend.

Hi Lenny! It's beginning to look ALOT like Christmas in Upstate NY. I was out both days trailriding on my horse, Taylor in the snow. Everything looks so pretty and clean. The horse seems to have some extra energy and prances really high in the snow. I just had to keep a keen eye out for those deer hunters! I even have jingle bells for the horse to wear just in case. How are things going this week for you? I hope you are feeling better despite the chemo. Sounds like you have a great outlook - it's true, the temporary sickness is worth the end result, right?~ Stay warm and feel well my friend.

Well... to keep you posted on our adventures here in NJ---
Harvey is still hunting, but no luck since last time, however, I had a bit of luck last week winning an overnight stay to Foxwoods Resorts (a casino) for me and a good friend! We had dinner with the NY radio station I listen to and had the chance to meet some other celebs!!! Right up my alley.... Harvey thinks I am crazy at times.... but like I told you before.... Never say Never... take chances, and have fun... and that is what I always do....
Anyway.... until my next concert or hunting story...
Our girls are doing well... Mick is playing basketball for college and Cammy will be running indoor track soon..
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND....
Talk to you soon....
Happy Holidays!

Hi everyone.
Yes I am out of the hospital, just a slight setback. Everything went ok I should start chemo next week again. Can’t wait to get back on the stuff again. Would you ever guess it, even though it makes me soooo sick I can’t wait because I know it is working so far?
4 more months of chemo to go.
I want to thank everyone for his or her thoughts and prayers. All of you don’t realize how strong it makes me.

Hey Lenny! Soooo happy you are feeling better. I'm glad we got to bond on the way home from the Iron Range but did Tara tell you how relieved I was that the abscess drained at Regina instead of on the way home! (chuckle) I told her that I almost told you about my abscess tonsil story on the way home but somehow I knew that the my painful abscess on the upper end would not compare to yours on the lower end...
Much to be "thankful" for on this Thanksgiving. Hugs and prayers from the Mellicks ~

It was great to see you at the Beefsteak Dinner and we hope that next year you and Tara and the kids can all come together, to spend another night of dancing and meeting up with everyone. Have a good Thanksgiving Day with your family and just know that we keep you all in our prayers. Stay strong and keep on SMILING! Love, Steve and Maureen (De Pascale)

Hi Lenny--
As soon as I opened the wonderful email I called Harvey and he asked me to tell you how happy he was and to wish you all the best each day and to keep strong.
Lenny - enjoy each day... with the holidays coming up ,keep taking one day at a time to do what you need to do and to enjoy all the good days.
We will continue to pray each day so that you can always hear good news and that each day is better than the next!
Well, to keep you posted... last week I finished going to see Bon Jovi, and now I will be getting ready for Rascal Flatts, and then I am going to see Celine Dion again next year! I will keep you posted on Harvey's hunting stories. We have to all enjoy just doing things when the opportunity comes. Now get ready to enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner. Hi to your family and again....Never say Never.....
Talk to you soon.....
Love from Denise, Harvey, Mackenzie and Cameron

Hi Lenny:
This is your old(as in years ago), old(as in my present age) friend from Hilltop Terrace-Mike's mom-Mrs. Uliss. I just had to say "hello" to you and let you know that you are in my and Mr. Uliss' prayers daily.
I've enjoyed reading the Caring Bridge guestbook and know you must realize what a special person you are to have so many devoted loving friends and family.
Mike was so happy to be a part of your Butler reunion and to get a chance to be with the old gang. He truly enjoyed having the opportunity to be with you again.
As I think of you, I remember the after school scene-you kids trudging up the Hilltop Terrace Hill with your bookbags-but you, Lenny, always had that wonderful smile that could brighten up a room..
It's been a most difficult road Lenny-but I know you have the strength as strong as the broad smile I saw many years ago.
Thoughts, caring and prayers
Most Sincerely, Mrs. Uliss

Hi Lenny, I hope this round of Chemo goes well for you. You've all been on my mind very often...even through the two moves I've had since moving here! I hope everyday for positive news when you get results in a few weeks. With all the people pulling for you, things are sure to turn out good. I'll continue to check the website for updates. Your friend in Iowa...Sandie...

HI Len! Another week gone by and I still see you smiling. I hope you are feeling ok, enjoying the fall and football. They are threatening snow here this week - Ugh! The winters upstate are sooooo long. Had a meeting last week at the HS for TJ. I was overwhelmed by the group that arrived as I thought there would only be myself and 2 of his teachers. Ended up editing the IEP, but it should be a positive step for him. Anyone have pictures of the Beefsteak/costumes they'd care to share? I loved seeing everyone that weekend - let's do it again really soon with your whole family! Hugs and Prayers to you friend!

Hi Lenny....
Hope you had a nice weekend.....
We continue to pray for you each day and wanting you to know that you helped us all to be really thankful for each day and to just enjoy doing things we love to do... which for Harvey means hunting ....he shot a nice 6 pointer over the weekend ... and well, for me
I did what I enjoy-- seen Bon Jovi again.
Big & Rich opened for them as well as Chris Daughtry..... both nights were great and I danced the entire time. I have one more show to go to.....they sound and look great!
Hope today is a good day for you.....
Wishing you and your family the best every day....
Talk to you later-- Have a great week and keep smiling!!!!!

What a special night it was two weeks ago. You are a very special guy to be able to draw a crowd like that! The laughs everyone shared and the love in the room that night was unbelievable.
Hey Ully, you missed Harvey's costume, he went as the young "Paulie Walnuts"!. He made it very clear at Craig & Julies house that he does not dye his hair!!!.
Len, just wanted to let you know that you are in our prayers and can't wait for your reunion tour.

I hope you can feel all the prayers coming your way... If you ever need a laugh, just call Harvey. He is a never ending story teller.... just ask Craig! We wish every Friday night could be as fun as last week. It just turned out to be one of those nights everyone has as another good memory. Our hearts ache that you have to go through this, but you have to keep thinking of the good times... your family & friends, and NEVER SAY NEVER... one day at a time. Hope this is a good day for you. We will write again later... PS... I am going to see Bon Jovi a few times this week.... I will let you know how it was!

Dear Lenny,
It was so great to see you Friday and Saturday night!! We had a wonderful time!! So glad Bobby got in touch with us to be there to see you. It was so much fun watching you on that dance floor-you still got it Len!! We wanted to give you some time to settle back in at home-but want you to know that we are thinking of you. We've played roles in many chapters of each others lives-and through that great friendships were formed. They say that good friends are the rare jewels of life-difficult to find and impossible to replace. You've been a great friend to all of us Len-and we want you to know that we are here for you in faith, strength, love, and friendship. Be well and stay strong so we can see you in our neck of the woods real soon!! Don't forget-Reflect on the memories of that weekend to get you through the bad days!!
Love Ya

Hello everyone, there aren’t words I can say that will express how I felt and still feel about the week. My heart aches and tears roll down my eyes as I sit here and write this. As I go through chemo again this week (sicker than a dog) all of your faces flash before my eyes. You do not realize what Friday and the week meant to me. I wish I could have the best of both worlds, Minnesota and New Jersey. I want to thank all of you for putting this on and to all of the people that took me in for the week, my friends and family. There are so many I don’t want to miss anybody so I’m just wanted to say thank you all and I will be back.

Take care, you and your family are in my thoughts often!

Love to all - Barb (Walz)
PS - I was looking through old pictures a few weeks ago and came across your going away surprise party from when you did the exchange program! What memories! I think we need to plan a reunion party up at the "Walz Compound" for Summer 08! Sound Good!!! My parents would love it!!

Hey little buddy,
Minding my own business earlier today, and trying to prevent a confrontation with trouble - I found myself driving past your home in the wee hours of the morning. I didn't intend to cruise down Jacob, I was merely out for a ride on the gravel with a cup of java balanced in the radio stack. I was reminded of the time you stopped in at my place of work and we spent some time chatting about this and that - mostly 'that', if I recall - that cancer. Your presence and conversation was most enjoyable and appreciated. We didn't chat too long; you were on break between a class. I watched your gait as you traversed the hallway and ascended the steps, heading back to that course of instruction. What do I recall most vivid about our encounter? Your heart, your compasionate heart. Thanks for sharing a bit of you that day with me. You're a good man Lenny. Let me know if I can help. I'd love to reciprocate and share my heart with you. May you find peace within.
Take care my friend,
Garrett Schloesser <gmschloesser@usfamily.net>

I wish you continued news of NO CANCER! I know how great it is when you finally hear the doctor say, "we got it all." You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I will see you at the walk.

It's been a long 2&1/2 years for all of us connected with the space program. Dan & I celebrated our 14th anniversary at Bubba Gumps Shrimp Factory in Daytona Beach yesterday. The food was excellent!

Hi Len,
Just got back from a quick trip to N.J., went up for my neice's graduation from college. Can't get over the"Bear" stories. Dave had one in his back yard the morning before we arrived. My parents saw one up on 23 by the Dairy Queen, I missed it. We had a very nice time. I got my fill of pizza and Taylor Ham & Cheese on a Hard roll. The bakery in Butler has changed hands and is now Mexican I think. GROSS!!! I didn't get to Nagel's either. I made a wrong turn off of the NJ turnpike going to my brother Greg's house in Bayonne, THAT was an exciting time! NOT! I have no idea where I was for sure, but eventually I made it to my brother's and had a fine time. It's a long way to go in such a short time, but I love every minute of being there!
Hope all is well with you, Love, Vera

Hi Lenny,
I am so happy that you are doing well. God is so Good !
Many prayers have been answered.
May has been a very busy month for us, 2 Baccalaureate services,Prom, Daniel's 9th Birthday, a visit from my brother Dave and his wife Claire and finally GRADUATION, and of course the PARTY !!! It was alot of fun! You're not going to believe this,,,my best friend Nancy from Kinnelon
(But moved to Arizona in '89) Surprised the heck out of me when she and friend showed up on Saturday afternoon !!!My parents answered the door, they didn't recognize her, and I screamed right in her face when I realized who she was! What a wonderful surprise !!! She stayed until about 10:30,
my throat was sore from talking!
Sara passed her CNA exam, and recieved several awards. We're very proud of her. She went to Project graduation, an all night party that the school hosts for the grad's, and was 1 of the 2 students out of over 400 that won a Dell Lap Top computor! How sweet!,
Ok, school's out and summer vacation has begun. I'm going to my niece Tiffany's graduation party in Bayonne in 2 weeks, and hopefully in July we'll attend my family re-union in Tenn. I'm really looking forward to seeing my brother's again, but I'll only be in Butler for 3 days. I can't wait! Pizza, pastries, pancakes at what used to be The Iron Kettle up on Rt23,& Taylor Ham and cheese on a hard roll !!!! Whoo-hoo !!! Talk to you soon,
Love,
Vera

Hi again! Brendan and I just returned from Utah last night. He was trying out for the Rocky Mountain Region Hockey team from Wed-Sun. He had a very good showing, but they are only taking 1 out of 12 goalies. He is on the short list of top 3, so keep your fingers crossed. If he makes the team, he will be playing in St. Cloud, MN from 7/9-7/15. Is that anywhere near you? He would be playing in the "National Festival" against all the other regions in the U.S. So, keep your fingers crossed for him. He is really hopeful, but because they are only taking 1, it's a long shot. I'll keep you posted. How great would that be to see you guys. I'll have to check a map. Well, talk to you soon. Love ya, Laur

Hi to all the Weiss's!!! I am SOOOOOO happy to hear the good news for you Len. I just got back from Salt Lake City with my son, Brendan, and I was checking my emails. I've been thinking about you a lot lately, all good!!! You deserve a "HUGE" break and it looks like it's happening. That's awesome!!! I'm so happy you get to loose the shunt. That's been a long time coming! God Bless you and your family! Take care, Laura

Hi Len. Good news, that all seems OK !! We continue to pray for you. Keep us posted about the possibility of a reunion in July. Katy Durbeck is having a reunion in August and I was trying to interest your father in attending, but he does not seem too interested, so it would be good to try for July.

Tara: Bobby Soules isn't married to someone in her 40's I just needed to correct that. A.S.A.P. I'm 35!! ;)..wow it's been a while since I've been on this site!! I would have corrected the error much sooner hahahahaha..... Please, let's NOT rush things!
I was thrilled to read that things are getting better.I know Len called Bobby the other night but I had no chance to really talk to him since a blood spider had me paralyzed with fear in my bedroom....If he heard the comotion in the backround. I hope it had him laughing....Laughter is an awesome medicine...We'll be in touch soon.
Remember God didn't promise skies always blue or flower strewn pathways our whole lives through, He did not promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow or sun without rain....but God did promise strength for the day comfort for the tears and light for the way. Let him be your light....and all will be fine!
Love and prayers to you all.

Hi to all the Weiss'! Sorry it's been a while. I don't know where the school year has gone, but all of a sudden we are working on Senior Prom! Although my Brendan is only a Junior, I have been nominated to run Project Prom next year, so I shadow the Mom for this year. Project Prom is the "after prom". It's really different here. We have a lockin from 1:00 a.m.-5:00 a.m. at a local place called Main Event (bowling, videos, laser tag, poker...) It should be really fun. We get donations for prizes and scholarships and give them away all night long. Wow, this will be something to see! And then, of course, there's hockey! There's always hockey. We will be going to Salt Lake City on May 4th for Regional camp, but Brendan is attending a AAA Midget Major camp now for himself and teaching at the PeeWee, Squirt and Mite levels. I finally said ENOUGH RUNNING AROUND, and bought him a truck yesterday! Now, at least I only run one kid around and worry like crazy about the other one on the streets of Dallas!!! I just got back from cheer practice and now I will wait up for Brendan to get back from hockey~! A mom's work is never done. I Love It!! So, love to hear an update about Lenny's status. Still keeping you all in my daily prayers. I think of you often. Please take care. Love, Laura

Hi,
Just got home from a trip to NC. Everything was at it's spring peak! It was nice to see all the blossoms on the trees, and the forsythia's in bloom. I love them, so yellow, so bright and cheerie, just don't get that here. The row of cherry trees leading into my father-in-law's golf community were at peak and simply breathtaking! I loved every minute of it! I-95 was a challenge, bumper-to-bumper the entire state of Georgia, must have been all the spring-breaker's and snow birds going home. It's good to be home, hope you're doing well, Love,

HOCKEY, HOCKEY, HOCKEY........
Yes we did watch the game Saturday...we watched the Minnesota High School Tournament last week. A phenomenon they say is only understood by Minnesotans....Lenny appreciates it as well as can be expected for a transplant.
AND we had our Squirt Tournament last weekend. Lenny Weiss (GOALIE) helped bring home a 2nd place award for his team! It was very exciting and very emotional.
Its good to get a rest!
Baseball starts soon!
Both Lenny's are looking forward to it.....Its good to hear from you.

Hi to all! Just a short note (yeah, right!) about the Minnesota vs. Minnesota State hockey game last night. Didn't know if you saw it. I was also watching Notre Dame and Michigan, hoping ND would win and force a game 3. But, Michigan won in OT on the 44th shot to the goalie. 0-0 during regulation. Very exciting game. The MN vs. MSU game was crazy, but MN pulled it out to sweep the series. I didn't know if they sweep, the team circles the M at center ice and does a stick salute. Pretty cool. More hockey tonight and then we watch the Madison Cup in Detroit. It's awesome. Well, gotta go get ready for church. Talk to you soon. Love ya, Laura

Just checking in to see what's new.
Hope you're still feeling better. It's Bike Week here in sunny Fla. The streets have been rumbling all week. The TICO War Bird Show started today at the airport about a mile north of me, so the Skies are rumbling too, in a big way! Dan and I both celebrated birthdays this week. Well we haven't had a chance to celebrate yet, our schedules are so busy, can't seem to get everyone together long enopugh to to use our Red Lobster gift certificates that we got for Christmas! We'll try again next week. Sara and I are going to Tallahassee for 2 days with her Medical class to visit the Senator to try to keep Phys Ed in schools. I'm looking forward to it, we've never been to Tallahassee before. Schools from all over the state will be there.
Keep the faith Len, Love, Vera

Hey! I have not had the internet for three weeks, so I have been anxious to get on the site to see if there's any new news!! We were infected with Spyware, Adware and probably underwear. It all seems to be working fine now, hundreds of dollars later. Olivia and I have also been traveling around the U.S. to her National finals. Her elite cheerleading squad won Nationals in Atlanta, GA called Cheersport Nationals and then again in Houston at Cheer America. Different cheer organizations have their own nationals, that's why there's more than one. But, Liv's team beat teams from GA, FL, NC, SC, Virginia, IN, IL, NY, TX, CA. So, it was a true national event. It was really fun. But, it's always fun to win. Now my son, Brendan, is trying out for the Rocky Mountain Regional team. If he makes the camp, he travels to Arizona to try out for the National team. If he makes Nationals, then he travels to NY to play against other teams from around the world. How exciting. He made it two years ago, so we will hope for the best this year. His tryout is Easter Sunday (there's my hockey heathen-I will have to pray for him in church). So, there's my update. Still praying for you and your family everyday. Look forward to hearing more and more positive feedback. Love ya lots, Laura

Hi Lenny, I haven't spoken with you in several weeks, so I hope you are getting stronger everyday. I'm leaving FL today to fly to NJ for 10 days. My granddaughter Amanda is in a play in school this weekend and she wanted me to come. Also, next week is my granddaughter Nicole's 5th birthday, so it looks like I'll be freezing my butt off. I'm officially all finished with my radiation therapy and my radiologist and oncologist have both assured me I am cancer free. Hurray! We can celebrate together. Anyway, I'll call you when I get back home. Stay well and give my love to Tara, Maggie and Little Lenny.

Hi Lenny,
Yoga ? Can't picture that.
Opening Day for Little League was today. It was sunny this morning, so we're all a little red tonight. The rain set in right at game time, nothing like baseball in the rain! Our team played really well, we're hoping for a good season.
Two of Sara's friends were in an accident lastnight. One walked away with minor injuries and the other didn't survive. I'm at a loss for words of comfort for her. This is so hard for her and her friends.
My brother Dave said they got about a foot of snow and expecting more Monday. I told him that I knew the weather must be lousy up there, because the Robins seem to be hanging out longer here this year. I think I had about 20 in my backyard yesterday. There's a Hawk that has moved into the neighborhood recently. He looks so majestic perched on the Pecan tree nextdoor. It's amazing to watch them sitting so still, then like a bolt of lightning, snatch a mole out of the ground and fly off! Sometimes when I drive out towards the beach, I'll see a bird swwoop down and snag a fish out of the river. Their precision amazes me. One dropped a fish on the hood of my car once.
That was gross, I'm glad my sun roof wasn't opened! Well, enough of that, I seem to be rattling on. I'm glad you are feeling better these days. Keep us posted! Love, Vera

Happy birthdays from us as well!! Lenny, do you remember how many times we had double snacks for our school birthday parties? Mine was a few days before yours and it always snowed so any planned parties were usually postponed...crusty cupcakes and brownies but we were kids so who cared?? Plus it got us out of doing schoolwork for a little while!! Do you even have snow days in Minn.?? Hope you're feeling stronger, how's that yoga coming along?? Love, Kim

YEAH!!!! Finally done! I'm so proud of you for coming so far. It's all good news from this point forward. I'm thinking of you and your family CONSTANTLY!!! The power of prayer is amazing, eh? (there's my Canadian accent) Well, my boys did great in Silver Stick. We beat the #1 team in the nation, Honey Baked Ham (Midget Minor AAA) 4-2. It was incredible. Everything seemed to gel during that one game. They were looking forward to revenge in the finals, but we lost in the semi-final after being down 3-0, in the 3rd period we tied the game with 2 seconds left in regulation. We proceeded to play to 5 overtimes. Yes, I said "5" overtimes and lost with 30 seconds left in the 5th overtime. We were dominating the game, but the goal was good. We are very proud of our boys, and many scouts have contacted Rick (my husband and head coach), inquiring about the boys status. So, all in all, we went 2 and 2. We will get to play the Honey Baked boys again at the end of Feb. during league play. We did bump them down to #2 because of their loss to us. Very exciting. Almost as exciting as your progress, Lenny!! Keep up the good work! Talk to you soon. Love ya, Lor

Hi Len, sounds like you're starting to feel better. I love reading about Italian favorites! We don't have good Italian food here. Couldn't even tell you when was the last time I had a pizzelle. I ordered Zeppolis here one night, they were o.k. I guess. They put cinnamon on them, and I'm not sure that I liked that. My brother Dave called this morning, his daughter is at the hospital going to have his first grand-child any minute!!! Can't believe I'm a Great-Aunt! Take care, Love,Vera

Also, it was wonderful talking to you the other night. I hope you're trying to stay warm. It's been down in the 40's here the last few nights...brrrrr..that's too cold for us! Maryann, I'm not sure if I remember having pizelles at your Mom's house, but I probably did as I spent enough time there. Are they the round, deep-fried dough that you put powdered sugar on? I know my aunt used to make them and I haven't had them in years. Well, Len, take care, stay warm, and I'll talk to you soon. Love to you, Tara and kids.

Hi to ALL! Boy, I have missed reading everyone's messages over the past couple weeks. We have been crazy, as usual, but not too crazy to not be thinking about you and your family. Len, I pray for you every day and I'm sure all of our prayers are being heard. Well, our Squirts (or Atom division in Canada) "won" the Silver Stick competition. That is amazing. It's the first time in the 50 year history that 2 American teams played in the finals, and we won. The kids get their picture in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto for one year. How exciting is that. And our little goalie, who weighs less than the trophy, was named to the All Star Silver Stick team. Very exciting. Now, my big boys go on Jan. 27th!!! I am the only Mom traveling with the team...what am I thinking!?! I'll update you on that one later. Kids are back at school after a day off, so I am catching up everything, especially emails. Please be well, and know you are only a prayer away. Take care! Love, Laura

It was so good to talk to you and Tara last week....wish I could have called after another Vikings win but that's ok. Maggie, you truly are such a gifted writer, thanks for sharing your writing with all of us! All of us in NJ are looking forward to seeing all of you in the summer! The only problem will be where to stay...too many of us to choose from!! But if you can get out here I know we'll find a way to get everyone together! We'll talk to you soon! Love, Kim

Dear Lenny,
I was happy to read that you were back at work. I am also so glad you are almost finished with your treatments. Let's hope 2005 brings you a clean bill of health when you are done. I've had 16 treatments so far and 17 more to go. So far I'm feeling good, although it was a little tiring last week with my kids and grandkids here. Of course, I had to make all of Donny's favorites, like homemade manicotti and lasagna, but it was great having them all here. Also, loved the pictures, Tara...you are a great-looking family! Take care, Len, you're almost at the finish line.
With much love and prayers, Aunt Betty

Hi Everyone:
Well it looks like we all managed to make it thru Christmas and New Year's Eve. We are all happy that your treatments are coming to an end...God Bless You...Love to see the pictures of the children. They grow like weeds and always have such beautiful smiles. Our holidays were great..the kids loved all their gifts and Cody was so happy that Santa didn't hold his detention against him. He asked PopPop if he could teach him how to be good all the time so he doesn't have to worry about Santa finding out. PopPop is not the best one for staying out of trouble.... Love all of you and remember always you are in our prayers.

Hi Len, I'm very happy to read that you felt up to work. I hope you are having a great Holiday. My family and I are off to Daytona tomorrow to spend a day of shopping. Those gift certificates are burning a hole in all of our pockets! We're going to start at a chocolate factory called Angel&Phelps. I've never been there (believe it or not) My mother gave me a white chocolate swan candy bowl filled with milk chocolates a few years ago. It was wonderful. Anyway, I've always wanted to go, so tomorrow seems as good of a day as any.
My parents flew up to NJ on the 26th. My nephew is getting married on Saturday. Unfortunately, I was not able to go.
My brother Dave sent me a calendar of NJ. He likes to tease me. We don't have any plans for New Years. We always stay home, and watch the ball drop in Times Square. It's much more glamorous on TV than real life. I went to Times Square on New Year's Eve 1997. It was definetly an experience that I will never forget! It was very cold and the crowd was out of control. I love New York City, but I will never go back on New Year's. I hope you have a wonderful New Year's! Love, Vera

Hi to all! I just read Tara's email. I finally got on the computer after the craziness of the holiday!!! It's all about hockey now. Our AAA Squirts (10 year olds) are competing in the Silver Stick competition. For those of you who do not know, it is a 50 year competition held across the U.S. and Canada. Regionals are going on now. We, in Dallas, usually host our region. We have teams from California, Colorada, Minnesota, Oklahoma...Our team has won its' first two games and hopefully another tonight. My son's, AAA Midget Minor team (16 year olds) has already qualified. We will all be traveling to Upper Michigan in Jan/Feb to play in the finals. I'll keep you posted. Anyway, so inbetween hockey games, we have been visiting friends and eating like crazy. Time to work out!!!! Well, I'm so happy the treatments are coming to an end. I can't imagine how tough they are to go through, but I pray every day that you are strong and healthy once more. Much love to all, Laura

thanks for coming to the New Brighton Christmas. It was great having everyone there and Len, you look great. I'll have Mary try to get some photos put on the web site or send them to you. It is great to read all of the well wishes from around the country. We do have some extra room now if you have any out of town visitors in need of a place to stay (if they don't mind our chaos).

How was your gravy??? Kathleen did a good job with our dinner too. I made the antipasto and my homemade choc chip cookies. Tell Maggie we loved the poem and the new photos of everybody. Joe sent you some photos through e mail of the crazy Landino Chistmas. Big Garry got the tree this year. His kids are waiting to spend it. I will call this week. Have a good day with the family.

We think and pray for your speedy recovery everyday but we know in our hearts that their isn't a thing in life that can get you down, maybe put you on slow for a little while but that's it. We hope that the holiday season has brought you great joy and happiness in each other. We enjoy every minute we spend with your family, even if it gets to be a heated competition at the arena!??(HA!

I hope you and your brother like your gifts...it's hard to know what books Maggie hasn't read yet. Anyway, we hope you enjoyed your Christmas Day with Tara's family and that Santa was good to all of you, and we especially hope you are feeling better today Lenny. We are having a lot of rain down here, but at least it's not snow. Talk to you soon.

My father painted a portrait of my son for me for Christmas. I cried when I opened it. He's been painting for about 12 years now, but I didn't now he was doing portraits! It's beautiful, and I'll treasure it forever! Merry Christmas! Love, Vera

Merry Christmas to you!! Loved the picture, and great to see the treatments are winding down...you're almost there Lenny!! Hope you're feeling better tomorrow...I'm sure the big guy in the red suit is looking out for you too! Sorry I haven't been on in a while. Guess you heard that Butler lost the state game but it was so close and they played great. The Giants players actually came out during their practice and watched a little so that was pretty cool. We have had our share of dr. visits which is why I haven't been able to call or write. Our daughter Lyndsay had 2 intense flare ups of ovarian cysts, the last over Thanksgiving. She had surgery this past Tuesday which was supposed to be a laporoscopy...turned into major surgery for 3 hours and she had to have one of her fallopian tubes removed. We've been back and forth to drs. all month and just got home from the hospital last night since she had to stay there for a few days...they let me stay with her. It's a painful recovery but she'll be fine. She's pretty bummed about missing out on her Christmas break and New Year's plans...you know for a 16 year old that's huge! It should take about 6 weeks for her to fully recover. But we count our blessings as I know you do and it just reminds us of what matters most. Much love and best wishes to all of you! Will talk to you soon! Love, Kim

Here is my contribution to the gravy stories - remember the times we used to sneak into Grandma's kitchen and dunk the italian bread into the gravy when she was not looking, and 9 times out of 10, she always caught us. Want to let you know that I/we are thinking about you everyday. Keep smiling and hope to hear from you soon.

Hello to the Weiss family: Been thinking about you all or y'all a lot lately with this being a tough week. Hopefully by Christmas, Lenny, you will be feeling much better. We are all praying that happens. I can't believe Xmas is almost here and Santa will be traveling the world once again. As kids we couldn't wait, as adults, we can't believe it all comes so quickly. I hope we can all take just a little time out to remember the "true" meaning of Christmas and thank God for our blessings, family and friends. I wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season. Take care and much love, Laura Desjardins

Hi Everyone:
Got your message and are happy to hear you received the picture of our grandchildren. They are so very special and we can't imagine our lives without them. We want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year. Hopefully all of you have been good so Santa can stop at your house. Cute story for you. My grandson Cody is in 1st. grade. He got his first detention last week for fighting with a second grader who stole his ball. We were in the car together with his brother Jesse and sister Chelsea and were going to visit a Christmas Village. You sit in your car and drive throught the village and your radio station plays Christmas music. So Santa Claus is Coming to Town came on the radio and we sing along. At the end of the song Cody says,"Nana do you think Santa found out I got detention? Santa knows when we are good and bad, but maybe he doesn't know what school I go to.".. Got a love it.... Have a wonderful holiday and always remember we love you all.

It is not spam however it can be sliced like spam. You fry it in a little bit of butter and you can also fry an egg and put it on a roll(I do not think you have rolls out there though right???) Some people also put a piece of cheese on top. Lenny will show you I am sure. Have a good night. Me

Hastings, MN - Thursday, December 16, 2004 2:49 PM CST
Good morning
I just love this gravy talking. I will set it straight. It is called gravy because it is chunkie with tomatoes and meat and does not run smooth like brown gravy for roast beef. And, when you take Italian bread and sneak in the kitchen and dunk it in the pot...the gravy sticks to the bread...and if you do not get caught...you can eat it. Lenny got caught plenty of times dunking in his Mom's gravy...Tara, I love the photos of the Dakota guys too. And to my Lenny the Taylor Ham is coming soon. Joe found a box and a styrofoam container. Have a wonderful weekend with your family. Love ME Me

Wantage, NJ USA - Thursday, December 16, 2004 11:06 AM CST
Hi Len, The photo's are great. I don't have a thing to say about the "gravy" except that I too believe it's an Italian thing. Being a former Irish Jersey girl also, the only gravy I had was brown, and having parents from the south, it was a light brown unattractive suace that my mom made from Jimmy Dean's breakfast sausage drippings and served it over biscuits. IN the morning! Pure heart attack food,, haven't had any in quite some time.
It's cold in Florida!!! In the 30's !! starting to feel like Christmas! The new puppy has chewed the tree lights in half 3 times now, we've given up on repairs, so I guess we just have to enjoy the tree without them this year.
Sara leaves for her ski trip to Maggie Valley on Friday after school. She's never been before, she's a pretty good surfer-girl, so I'm sure she will pick up on skiing with no trouble. I wish I was going with her! Daniel is anxious for baseball to start in January. I hope you have a great weekend, and a Blessed and wonderful Christmas. Love, Vera

Hi Tara and Lenny, I have to add to the "gravy" discussion. Growing up in New Jersey in an all Italian family, on Sunday mornings my mother always made gravy along with Italian sausage and meatballs. Even my Irish daughter-in-law calls it gravy...she grew up in an Italian neighborhood in Spotswood and is a really good Italian cook. Anyway, glad to hear you only have three more treatments to go Lenny. Hope you're having a good week. Take care and love to you and the kids. Aunt Betty

Cape Coral, FL - Wednesday, December 15, 2004 6:58 PM CST
Dear Tara:
For what it is worth...I think it is an Italian thing! As a former Irish Jersey girl, I was always confused when friends called spaghetti sauce "gravy." Only my Italian friends used that term. Hope you are all doing well today.

From 80 to 30 in less than a week! Sara participated in her last Christmas Parade on Saturday. Ofcourse! I got weepy! This was our 15th year, and I'm still not used to the idea of Christmas Parades.

The Hockey game was GREAT action and the best entertainment value I have experienced in awhile. I took several photos & kept my eyes open for celebrity hockey greats! It is difficult to identify players when they are not in the uniform we typically know them in AND with helmets and masks (all good role models) it was difficult to see for sure who was on the ice!

Hi to all from Texas once again! Rick and I just got back from a trip to California for a Christmas party with some business partners. We were in Laguna Beach and LaJolla. It was really fun, although the weather was a bit cool for California. Yeah, like I'm gonna complain about being on vacation. NOT!!!! Anyway, I didn't get to check the website before I left, so I was really happy to read about the CAT. That's great!!!! I've been wearing my Livestrong band for a few weeks now for you, Lenny. People ask me about it CONSTANTLY. It creates a lot more thought and prayers for you and your family. And...it all seems to be working. Thanks for working so hard to get better. WE really had fun in California, but now it's back to reality. We have cheer competitions this weekend and hockey games to play. HEY! How exciting for little, little Lenny to possibly see the Great One, Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull. Please write in the journal if he was able to see any/all of them. Gordie Howe's grandkids live in the town my kids were born in, in Ohio. Brendan saw Gordie quite a few times at our local rink, watching his grandkids play. He is an exceptional human being. So, I hope he had fun. I'm waiting for Brendan to come home from watching the Tornadoes play (our Junior B team). Haven't seen him since my return, so it will be nice to talk to him. Well, I'm very thankful for the "great" news, once again, and I wish you all good health and happiness. Love always, Laura Desjardins

I saw Bobby S last night picking up dinner at Fallsview Hotdog place in Butler he was rushing to get to the tree lighting which was last night. He says he talks to you every week. He looks great and he has a handsome son with him. They run around with fottball and soccer. He wants you come out to NJ when all of this is done. Your old gang wants to see you.

Lenny, I stopped by your office on Tues. 11/23 but you were out and I was there again Tuesday 11/30 but had to race out of there as soon as I was done w/ my work. Does little Lenny want to tend goal this Sunday nite at SPA from 7:45 -8:45 when the kids play the old dads for an hour of one of our occassional two hour sessions? Johnny, Bobby, and the Tippings (some other bantams and pee wees too) plus some others 10 year olds Lenny knows will play against the dads including uncle Kevin and Bob Tipping and possibly Bobby Hull and Wayne Gretzky and maybe Gordie Howe might show up. Let me know. Hope all is well in Hastings.

Hi Lenny
A quick hello from NJ Hope all is well in MN I see it is very cold out there We are also experiencing some cold weather. I know next week will be the tough week again. I will call. Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving with the family. And to Betty...Yes I remember the 13 bus to Newark but of course I did not start taking that bus till 1967-71 so it was much later than you and Mike. I am praying for you Betty and of course to my Little Lenny too. I will call you Lenny this week. Me ME

Hi Lenny, Well, it's good to hear you felt well enough to go to work. I'm sure it feels good to get out of the house, even for a day. Just keep thinking it won't be long now...you're on the downslide. I saw my radiologist on Monday and I'll start my radiation Dec. 13th. I'll need 33 treatments--5 days a week for 6-1/2 weeks, so we'll be counting down our treatments together. I'm feeling good and my treatment will in no way be as tough as your's. So hang in there Len. I keep praying for you. Again, Mary Ann, thank you for your thoughts, and I think I used to see Michael on the No. 13 bus around 1960-61 when we were both working in Newark. My love to you Len, Tara, Maggie and Little Lenny. Aunt Betty

Thanks for the great dinner on Thanksgiving. Good to see Bob, Dawn and James. James is a cute child (handsom), and its good to see how he grows each time we see him (on Thanksgiving for sure). Lenny hides when he is not feeling well, making it easy to take for granted the tough road he is on right now. On Saturday we got to go to our son Michael and daughter-in-law's home for a party. Mary and Mike made home made pizza hum hum good!
Take care Lenny and Tara, Lenny and Maggie

Hi Everyone:
Lenny hope you are feeling better. Thanksgiving came and went like the wind. I love to watch (when I get a minute to myself that is) the cooking shows on TV. The last few weeks they have been showing what to do with your left over turkey...I know they weren't talking about my house... Every piece of tupperware and corningware is gone from my cabinet and not a flake of turkey or any of the 9 side dishes or pies made it into my refrigerator...Left overs..what is that???? It was a wonderful holiday and hope that everyone enjoyed theirs. Now comes the wonderful world of the Christmas Holiday. Wednesday is Dec.lst and each of the next 25 days will be filled with the wonderment of Christmas. Each day will be a special one for you Little Lenny as I will be praying a special prayer for you and your family. Take care, stay warm and remember we love you...

Hello Lenny and the entire MN gang!!! So who cooked the turkey at Big Lenny's house??? Glad you could all be together. Betty...I did not know that you took the bus with my brother to Newark. Sometimes, I would take the bus with him on my way to Jersey City for college but I am sure that was after your years of buses. Betty we are glad that you are okay. I remember you and the happy times on Prospect Street. Now back to Little Lenny...can you believe that Barbara actually cooked the turkey and did not call 1-800-Cook-Turkey?? HaHaHa. I hope that you are feeling better. Tara...just think after you put up the snowflakes on January and the hearts in February your Lenny will be done with the treatments. We pray for you and the family...all of us in NJ. I will call this week of course. Love ME

Hey little Lenny,
I am sorry to hear that you didn't feel well on Thanksgiving. We just got back from the Catskills. We had a great time as always. I just wanted to drop a note to let you know I was thinking of you, especially on Thanksgiving, I am so thankful that you are in my life. Trek on and keep your head up, you are almost done!

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't feel well for Thanksgiving. I can't believe the holiday mahem has begun!
It's been in the high 70's this weekend, and even though I've been here for 15 years, I am still not used to Christmas shopping in my shorts! I hardly ever go shopping on the day after Thanksgiving, but my sister was up and talked me into to going to Toys-R-Us with her. (Of all places) she seemed to get alot accomplished, me, I was reminded why I never go shopping on that day!
My niece Heather graduated Army bootcamp on the 24th in Arkansas, after graduation, my brother Dave and his family traveled up to Nebraska to spend Thanksgiving with Claire's brother, They are flying back to NJ today. He called me on Thanksgiving, said it was great to have Heather back with them. I don't know what her new order's are yet, but she will probably be going off to Iraq soon. Thank Tara for the up-date, I always look forward to reading them. Talk to you soon,,,chin-up, you're almost home !!! Love, Vera

Hi Lenny, Tara, Maggie and Little Lenny,
It was wonderful talking to you the other night Tara. I again want to thank you for the prayers for me...they paid off as you know, the cancer didn't spread. Also, thank you Maryann for your well wishes. I wish all of you a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving, and especially continued good progress for you Lenny. We're all thrilled by your doctor's good news. By the way Lenny, I always said that your mom made the best "gravy" and meatballs and I understand you inherited her talent. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Landino family too. I have lots of happy memories of you guys and your mom and dad at your house on Prospect Street. Did any of you know that before I got married, I used to ride the bus from Nutley to Newark everyday with your brother, Michael, when I believe he was doing court transcription. He was a real doll and we had a lot of fun together.
Love and best wishes to all, Aunt Betty

There's so much more to Thanksgiving than the turkey and all the trimmings, to me it's a time to reflect on all of God's gifts and blessings in our lives. I am so thankful for His gift of friendship. Happy Thanksgiving! Love, Vera

Thanks Tara for that wonderful update!!! I know many of us have been asking for photos but we can pass on that one! It's good to know you will be able to enjoy this upcoming weekend. A quick BHS update...The Bulldogs did it again...beat Boonton in the semi-finals by one point. Boonton was within scoring the last minutes and the defense dug in and did their job...so we're off to play in the Meadowlands (Giants stadium) on 12/4 for the finals! I'm not sure what that will mean for this week's Thaksgiving game since it won't have a factor on the standings...Lenny, didn't you guys play there as well? My daughter and the others juniors beat up the seniors 25-0. Tara DePascale played great!!Lyndsay had a nice run...they really had fun but it started to get a bit rough. Girls can be aggressive too! Hope you all enjoy your Thanksgiving...so much to appreciate this year more than ever. Talk to you soon! Love, Kim

We went outside and made the snowman and used ketchup for the lips. Hope I made you smile a bit. I will call this week. MEME

Hi to the entire Weiss family from Texas! I am SOOOO HAPPY to hear your test went well, Lenny. God is good! Great news! I hope you got to see some hockey this weekend. My boys were in St. Louis, so I only got updates by phone. They ended up 2 and 2, but Rick says Brendan was outstanding, his words, not mine. They may as well be mine though. He needs to work hard, constantly, if he ever has a shot at Juniors and University hockey. Well, they love it no matter where they play, as long as they're playing. They just landed, so I am waiting for them to come home. Only two more days of school and then a much deserved 5 day break. Only a break from school, not hockey. We are playing AAA teams from Alaska, Colorado, Ohio and I think, Indiana. They are Midget Majors, so older than we are, but it will be fun. So, I wish you a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving. We are going to a friend's house. I was told I will not be cooking this year, since I still can't lift a lot. I feel GREAT, though. I am very thankful for my friends and family, and all the help I have received. I am also very thankful that things are so positive for you and your family. Take care. I will write again soon. Love to all.

Praise God for answering prayers !!! I'm sure you're feeling very relieved. I hope you have a great weekend, Dan and I (more Dan) will finally be putting up wall paper that we ordered last March! The new puppy is doing fine, Vet said he's healthy, and we finally gave him a name. KIPPER It's still pretty warm here, 80's, can't believe that Thanksgiving is next Thursday! It's just too hot for me (Dan) to be cooking turkies. We have "Dinner on the Grounds" after church on Sunday, Dan volunteered me (himself) to cook one of the ten Turkies to be served. We (he) will have to get up in the middle of the night to get that bird in the oven, so it's ready to take to church by 11. An elderly man got lost Turkey hunting on Monday, He got his turkey but the police had to use Thermal radar from the helicopter to find him. They found him on Tuesday afternoon, and his wife told reporter that he was back out hunting again on Wednesday! My brother Dave got a five pointer on Sunday with his bow, he's a happy guy! His daughter Heather graduates bootcamp on Thanksgiving day from the Army, she earned her M.P. pin last week and someday hopes to be a New Jersy Statetrooper. We will learn soon, when she will be going off to war, so please keep her in your prayers. Talk to you soon, Love, Vera

I just wanted to let you know that since finding this site through the Hastings Sharks site today, I have set up a page for both of my parents who are also undergoing cancer treatments, not unsimilar to yours.

Hi From Sewaren:
Maggie congratulations to you.. I just read the news in the journal..We are all so proud of you. Do you think you could remind your dad to send me some pictures of you and your brother? Lenny how is everything going? All is well in Sewaren..the newest memember of the family..Little Billy needs his first pair of walking shoes so Nana will be taking him tonight. He is eight months old this month and in the last day has started to pull himself up and walk along the furniture..Hopefully there are shoes wide enough for him. He is 29inches tall and 25 pounds. (compared to Little Greg who is 31 inches tall and 20 pounds at 18 months) Like Grandma use to say..just use the shoe box. We might just have to do that. Love to all, prayers are with all of you.

Wantage, NJ USA - Wednesday, November 17, 2004 5:56 AM CST
Hi to all!! Hope you started to feel a bit better this past weekend Lenny....I agree with the feeling of hockey withdrawal. Are they ever going to play again?? The NJ Devils won the last time we had a shortened season but guess there will be no season this year. Lenny, BHS Bulldogs are going strong! They did lose to Delbarton by a few touchdowns but it wasn't a blowout. More importantly they did win their first game of the states this past weekend. I don't remember the score...was REALLY COLD but you would probably think we are being wimpy out here! I was pretty glad to see that clock tick away, even better with a win. They play in the semi-finals this Sat. against Boonton. I'll keep you posted. We're going to miss it, going down the the Jersey shore with some friends. It's still wonderful down there even now. Our daughter Lyndsay is playing powder puff football this Wed....juniors against the seniors. I think she is a wide receiver and Tara DePascale is the quaterback...pretty funny, huh? They think they are going to beat those senior girls but we'll see! They had their Harvest Ball on Sat. and all had their nails done..Lyndsay is worried about catching the ball and breaking them...but she did ok in practice...they had to memorize 5 plays and she says it's a lot. You just have to laugh! We'll let you know how that game goes too, I can only imagine! They've had 4 practices! Stay strong Lenny! As always we think of you a lot and Tara, Maggie and Lenny too!! Talk to you soon! Love, Kim

Hi Lenny and Tara and kids!!! Hope you are feeling better this week. I've been thinking about you a lot lately. We have had SOOOOOO much hockey lately that it makes me think of you. I really miss not having the NHL. I have to be happy with travel and high school hockey. For some reason, it just doesn't cut it all the time. If I watch the movie "Miracle" one more time, I could recite it. But, hey, if you haven't seen it, it's amazing. Very inspirational. The boys watch it constantly before big games. Anyway, just got back from hockey/cheer, so I thought I'd check up on you. I'm sorry it's so hard. I wish we could take some of the burden away from you. I just got fully released from my doc, and I am very happy to say I feel great. Slowly, but surely, it all comes back. You too!!!! I pray every day for you Lenny. Love ya lots, Laura "Houst" Desjardins

Hi Lenny,
Well, Sara had a very nice 18th birthday. Some of her cheerleader friends came over in the middle of the night, the night before and "Decorated" her car, writing, streamers, ribbons and all. It was great! She had to cheer at a hurricane make-up football game that night. They announced her birthday, she was happy. There wasn't school yesterday (Thank-you to all the Vets out there) and she went 4-wheelin' for the first time. Tomorrow we are taking her to Orlando to The Cheesecake Factory for dinner and cheesecake of course. I saw on their web site that there's one in Minneapolis, if you haven't been, maybe when you're feeling better, Tara will take you. You'll Love it!
There's a new puppy at my house! Dan and I have been looking for a West Highlander Terrier for awhile, and we found one yesterday. He's adorable,,,but aren't all puppies adorable??? No name yet. Take care, I'll talk to you soon, Love, Vera

Hope your treatments are going well this week for you, Lenny. I had my pre-op testing this morning, so I'm just anxious to get this over with. I'm sure you know the feeling. Anyway, glad Maggie and Little Lenny liked their Halloween cards. Maybe they can let me know what's on their Christmas lists, or if Little Lenny wants any more memorabilia from the Twins. Well, I hope you're all staying warm. I wish I could send some of our beautiful weather to you. Keep up your good spirits, Lenny, we're praying for you and know that we will both get through this with all the love and prayers we have around us. Love and hugs to all. Aunt Betty

Hello from Sewaren:
Little Len how are you feeling today? We had our first taste of winter this morning..ice on the windows.. Wanted to send a quick note on Sunday..was suppose to have a real quiet day. Just as I sat down with my cup of coffee to type you a note, my back door (which is like a revolving door) opened and Tammy (my daughter-in-law)and baby greg came by to say Hi to me (Nana).. within seconds the goodie cabinet is open along with the refrigerator and lunch is now being served. Baby greg eats all day long. Just as I sat to try and finish my cup of coffee and send your note, the revolving door opens again and it's my daughter Michelle and the three grandkids... Hi Nana, can we have a snack? Sure honey I say, and Nana has a new DVD for you to watch..The next thing I know I am pulling Chicken and Steak out of the freezer and planning what my quiet Sunday dinner is going to be. To make a long story short..The table had to be extended with two additional leaves and set with 12 place settings, 6 of which all had to sit next to Pop Pop. So there went your quick note on Sunday... Got a Love it..Wouldn't trade it for the world. Love ya lots.. Take care and will write soon.

We don't have Ring Dings here either, but we do have "Little Debbie", they're pretty good, but nothing like a Ring Ding! Entenmann's finally found their way to our grocer's,,,I was very happy to see their crumb cakes, but evenstill, no one will ever make a crumb cake like the Bakery on Main St, Butler.

While much of high school has become a blur, I have never forgotten the warmth of your smile. It truly warmed the room you were in.

Hi to all in the Weiss family (see how we get around using the "Lenny" word)!!! Just thought I'd drop a line of encouragement before your next treatment starts. Boy, they seem to fly by for me, I can only imagine how difficult they are for you and the family. We all pray for you "all" everyday, and I know our prayers are being heard, Len. You have so many people who love and care for you....believe that!!! The boys just got back from Wisconsin. Not the greatest trip. They only won one of their games. My Brendan was in net and he got a shutout. He only got 14 shots, so not a really tough game. But, at least he pulled one out. Liv just fininshed her cheer competiton at the Dallas Convention Center and took 2nd in her division. They lost by .06, so she wasn't very happy. They got their bid to Nationals, so that's the important one to win. So, a great weekend all the way around. The weather has been around 80 degrees here. I'm trying to send some your way, but it doesn't seem to be working out for me. So, stay warm and think good thoughts during this tough week. We love ya, Len. Take care and God Bless, Laura

Hi Lenny,
How're you doing? Good, I hope. I hate to rub it in but it's a beautiful day in sunny Florida...80 degrees and low humidity. I guess I left NJ just in time. It was 70 up there last Sunday but I hear it got really cold during the past week. Anyway, I had fun trick or treating with my granddaughter Nicole. How did your bonfire go, and how did Maggie and Little Lenny enjoy halloween? I hope you all had fun. I know this starts another grueling week of treatments for you, so hang in there, and keep remembering you're over the hump and on the downside now. I keep praying for you and for your complete recovery. Take care and Don sends his best also. Love to you, Tara and kids.

Good Morning!
I am enjoying my correspondence with MeMe also. I hope you have a better experience this week, and that the side effects stay at bay. I guess the weather man was just teasing us this week when he said that fall was finally here,,,Friday it was 70 and beautiful, today we will be in the eighties again! I'm almost done with your scarf, I'll have it in the mail to you A.S.A.P. You're in my prayers, Love, Vera

Hello Lenny,
A friend emailed me this site. I am sad to hear of your condition and feel deeply for you and your family during this time of hardship. I never met anyone as happy and joyfilled as you. And with the addition of a new family and the love and prayers of so many, I know you will find the strength to endure. I must admit I was quite confused by the amount of Lenny's in your family. Buzzy gave it away. xoxo Nancy

Good Morning Len,
I just got an e-mail from Mike Bedford. He posted a link to your site on our Butler High School site. I hope you hear from alot people from home. Sara's last football game is tonight, I can't believe she's a senior! I'm sure I'll cry,,,I always get sappy about stuff like that. She got us seats in the "Reserved" section of the grand stand,,said she wanted us to have decent seats for her last game...aahhh..Have a good weekend!, Love, Vera

Hi Everyone:
Just a note to say hello from Sewaren, NJ...All is well at home..Halloween turned out to be a great day for all the kids. Have been busy shopping for Christmas..You know your getting old when you can't understand if a game is Gameboy, X-Box, Playstation 2 etc. etc. etc. What happen to board games??? I have to ask the grandchildren what the commercials are talking about. The other day I had to ask my 6 year old grandson Cody how to work the DVD player and choose the movie...couldn't figure out how to start the movie... But they know everything about it.. including all the words to the movie. Take care, love ya lots..

Good morning Lenny and gang,
So cold this morning in NJ. The temperature was 30 degrees. I see that parts of NH have freezing rain. I hope everybody is doing well. We think of you everyday. I am corresponding with Vera. It is so nice to hear from her. Say hi to family. We love you. Me ME

Hi Lenny,
Not much new in Florida. I'm glad that we are not the topic

I hope you're feeling better this week. Love, Vera

How did the bonfire go on Sat night??? Was it chilly outside? Denver got three inches of snow already. I guess that is a good sign that winter is coming. Hope all is well in MN. I know this is the easy week. I will call anyway. Hey Lenny, Kathleen and kids called me from Main St in Disney. And, Joe is in GA hunting....Something is wrong with that picture. MY prayers are with you and stay strong, I love you. Me ME

Hey all you Lennys out there. (funny aren't I). Hey, Lenny, just to clarify my sister, Kathy: I don't know if you remember that they call me Lori. They are the only people in the world that still do, but so be it. Anyway, call me whatever you like. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! I hope you got to enjoy your kids and all the ghouls and goblins. I sure did. After three more hockey games this weekend and cheer practice, no ghosts can scare me. (all games were "w's" this weekend). Anyway, been thinking about you a lot and just wanted to say hi and may God Bless You and yours. It's great to read about the Butler H.S. team. Wow, Kim couldn't have made that story up if she wanted to. What a comeback. That's got to be a sign for you. Well, time for bed. My sugar crash is happening after eating all that candy, and I didn't even have to dress up to get it. That's what kids are for. I'll talk to you soon. Love ya, Laura

Dear Lenny, Lori told me about what you are going through. I am so sorry to hear that you are battling cancer. I have too many friends dealing with this awful disease (too many people our age). But so far, all are doing well. Megg (Gallarelli) Todeschini is cancer free after her battle. She went with Don to an Army Football game a couple of weeks ago when I was in Texas taking care of Lori after her surgery. Megg is doing great and is loving life as always. Another good friend just dealt with breast cancer and is now healthy. So hang in there. It is a long battle, but you are strong and your spirit is what will get you through. All the Roberts' send their prayers and well wishes. We saw them all last weekend at Don's moms house. Matt (21 on Tuesday) and Jessica (18) are both in college so Don and I are empty nesters. We told the kids about you and they are also keeping you in their prayers. Love to you and your family. Kathy

Hey!! Hi Guys! I just got back from the Butler game...finally made it to one even tho' I knew we were playing another undefeated team...New Providence. At the half the score was 28-0...NP on top...I knew it was rough when their band was even bigger...in quantity and size...than our guys. Craig was calm and cool on the sideline as he coached...yea, if you believe that you know he had an out of body experience...well they came back to play in the second half...score was 28-14 with the beginning of the 3rd quarter....they scored AGAIN with about 7 minutes left ...kicked an on-side kick..got it back and and scored AGAIN to tie the game...less than 2 minutes to go...defense was awesome..somewhere in there was a recovered fumble, Butler got it back and scored again with 35 seconds left to play...final score Butler 34 - NP 28!! 7-0...go Bulldogs!! oh yea..and Craig was even more calm at that point...they fought hard Lenny just as you are doing. Hope you're feeling a little better now, we'll talk to you soon!! Love, Kim,Rob,Lyndsay and Meg

Hi! I hope you are feeling better tonight and tomorrow. I can't wait to hear about Little Little Lenny's next game. Brendan had a high school game last night that was pretty exciting. The goalie on the opposing team will do anything to beat "any" team that Brendan is on. Well, this kid stood on his head. He had 44 shots and let 2 in. Meanwhile, Brendan had about 10 shots and only let 1 in on a rebound from a breakaway. So, we won, but the other goalie was really fun to watch. The real games come this weekend. We play the Houston Hitmen (scary name, eh?). Anyway, I'll keep you updated. Don't get too cold in the rink. Think warm thoughts!!!! Talk to you soon! Lor

Lenny- I had an idea to help avoid the confusion of the Lennys.... I'm pretty sure you should be referred to as "Hunky Lenny!" I know it would help me keep it straight!
Are you passing out good Halloween treats? I want to know if it's worth the trip to Hastings to come ring your door!
Love you guys!

There has never been a finer group of kids. I should know...I taught most of them. Hopefully Kim they will fill us in on the stories. My Lenny...I pray everyday for you and I know you cannot wait for treatments to be over. I will of course call again at the end of the week. Tara, when he feels better tell him to make your gravy.

Round 6 is over, You're half way there! God Bless You!
I know you're not feeling good this week, I wanted to say hi, and let you know I'm praying for you. Sorry about those Yankees, I don't want to sound like a traitor but Tim Wakefield is a friend of my old boss', I've met him, and his parents, so I sort of felt obligated to pull for the Red Sox, sorry, Love, Vera

I keep checking for some good stories from BHS from your buddies...come on Steve, I know you must have some good ones!!

Good Afternoon Everyone:
Lenny I hope you know that we are with you each and everyday and pray for your recovery. I'm sure by now the pumpkins are carved and the candy that is suppose to be handed out on Halloween has been nibbled on. (I know in my house the grandkids have found the bags. I had to replace two of them already). We have a Tinker Bell, Devil, Indian, Dinosaur, some kind of Dragon Slayer and a Spy.. Maggie and Little Little Lenny have a great Halloween and keep the candy away from Daddy. Will talk to you again.. Joyce and Bill

Hi to all in the Weiss clan (all Lenny's included)! I know this will be a tough week for you. As always, you are in my family's prayers. I wanted to let you know that my son, Brendan, has written out about 10 goalie drills for Lenny III. Brendan is a AAA goalie who plays in the MAHL. He teaches the Squirt AA & AAA goalies here in the Dallas area. He thought you would like some drills to improve your skills, placement and speed. Brendan will be traveling to Canada over Thanksgiving to play with a Junior B team, which he might play for next year. I hate to lose him for his senior year, but it's all about hockey. Secondly, we are coming to MN! I didn't think we were, but Rick (my husband) just told me our Squirt team will be there on January 29th. I'm not sure exactly where yet, but will keep you updated. My son's team, AAA Midget Minor will be coming the first week of March. We will be at Chaddick. I have no idea how far that is from Hastings, but I will be checking it out. By March, Len, you will be really healthy before any other surgeries take place. It would be great to see you and meet your unbelievably talented family. Wow, how do you keep up with those jocks of yours? I am proud just reading about them. Also, just to brag about Olivia (she is my 12 year old who is a competitive cheerleader) competed at Texas Stadium (where the Cowboy's play) yesterday. They not only won their category, but they won "Grand Champion". They have been invited to perform at the halftime show of Dallas Cowboys vs. the Saints on 12/12. Pretty exciting for a 12 year old. It was a lot of fun! Okay, I want to send off these drills, so I will try to get Tara so I can get your home address. I'll try to call this weekend when you are feeling better. Feel good, be strong, pray hard. Me, too. Love ya, Laura

Hi!!! Hey, just wanted to give you an update on the Butler games...they are still undefeated...6-0!!! However, the last 3 games will be really hard..Delbarton and New Providence I think are undefeated as well and then we play Caldwell on Turkey Day. Remember it used to be Pompton? I talked with Bobby Soules the other night...our kids are on the same soccer team...he gave us an update. We're all thinking of you so often and wish we could be there to help...altho' it sounds like you have some awesome friends and family out there that love you as much as we do. Sure would be fun for us to all get together once you're feeling better. Hey, do they do hayrides out there? Lenny, do you remember our hayride senior year?? I'm not sure exactly who went...don't think I was even sure that night who was there....but it was pretty fun. But now that I have a daughter who is a junior in high school we'll just keep some of those stories to ourselves :) Talk to you soon! Love, Kim, Rob, Lyndsay and Meghan

By the way, he says to say hello to you and hopes you're feeling better real soon. It's great to see all the well-wishes you're getting from back east and all other the US. I can see many people love you and are praying for your complete recovery, me included. Have a good weekend and I'll give you a call next week.

Dear Lenny & Family, we were so sorry to hear of your bout with cancer. Lenny & I will be praying for a full recovery for you. Looking at the guestbook entries make me very homesick for family and friends from New York, New Jersey, Minnesota etc. I know I'm just an implant in the family, but I couldn't feel more like family if I was born to it. This family has certainly spread out through the years in more ways than one!!!! Keep God first and everything else will fall in place. Tara, we've never met but I know you must be an angel. God Bless you all. Love, Dixie & Lenny Brunner

Hi Lenny, Hope this week finds you feeling a little better. I just found out I have tendonitis in my wrist! The doctor said it's from using the mouse on the computer too much--can you believe that? It's also a good excuse for not doing too much around the house, but Don's not buying it! Just wanted to let you know too that we're leaving for NJ on Thurs. It's Don's 50th high school reunion in Hasbrouck Heights on Sat. night. So I'm kinda looking forward to some cool NJ weather and seeing Donny and my granddaughters. Dawn was just here and she said to say hi to you, and to Bobby too, and she is also keeping you in her prayers. Well, try to keep warm Len and I'll be in touch again soon. Give my love to Tara, Maggie and Little Lenny.
Love, Aunt Betty <Bsapanara@aol.com>

Hi Lenny! I was so shocked when Vera told me your news. It's been a long time, and not exactly what I expected to hear about you. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers always. When I think of you I can't help but remember the times at U-Save when you worked with my brother Bob. We had some good times, remember? Anyway, I am actually going to see Bob this weekend (he lives in Vermont), so I will tell him about you and hopefully he will drop you a line. In the meantime, hang in there, be strong, and know that a lot of people are "pulling for you," and praying for you. My best to you and your family.

Hello Lenny, my heart was saddened when Vera told me what you were going through. I haven't seen you since BHS days but I can see your big smile as if it were only yesterday. By just showing up you bring joy to others and hope that my prayers and the prayers of so many will bring joy to you and your precious family during this painful time. When you can't sleep and are not feeling too terrible, try reading Psalms in the Bible. Start with #23 and keep reading. There is strenggth for you there. About your messy house, let it go! I believe it is a sign you are trying to live your life to the fullest and keeping first things first. I love a clean house but it always seems to fall to the bottom of my things-to-do list. My mom doesn't even come to visit much anymore, she says it's too much work. About 12 years ago I married a minister, turned FedEx courier, and am busy raising the greatest kids on earth, Stephen-10, Michael-9, Diana-7 and Melissa-5. It's all about them, but of course you know. May blessings from Heaven flow down on you and your family. Love, Sharon Cole-Hall

Hi to all in the Weiss family! Wow, I am so happy and saddened to receive an email regarding Lenny's (ok, I can't figure out all the Lenny's, but I know the one "I" know and love...sorry) cancer. I just stared at the screen for I don't know how long. First of all, you and your family are consistently in my prayers for happiness and good health, but now we will add you to our Bible Study group and every other prayer chain I can think of. Lenny, you are one of the strongest, most committed (in anything you do), compassionate and loving individuals I have ever met. Why do crappy things happen to such good people? (just rhetorical). I wish I could see you and your beautiful family. We will be traveling toward you for hockey, but not in MN, in Milwaukee. The boys are all over the map (Chicago, Boston, Milwaukee, Colorado...) It's fun, but crazy. I will be checking the site often to hear of your recovery and improvement. I've been really missing our emails back and forth. Len, you are such a great person and a loyal friend. I know I'm not making much sense, I just want you to know we (my entire family) will be praying for you and Tara, Maggie and Leonardo. Please take care and know you are never out of our thoughts and prayers. I will write again soon!!! It's great to see updates from some people in Butler and to hear about the football team. I haven't been back in about 16 years. Wow, am I old, or what. Talk to you soon. Love ya, Laura (Houst) Desjardins

For those who do not know, Aunt Betty is Lenny's godmother and Phylis' (Lenny's mom) lifelong friend. Betty & her husband Don have offered to have Lenny come stay with them this winter in Cape Coral Forida. He reminds us daily of this very generous offer.
I am sure that Betty would take wonderful care of Lenny!

Hi Lenny, Tara, Maggie and Little Little Lenny, I was really happy to see your entry, Lenny, in the journal, but sorry that you are having such a tough time. As hard as it seems now, the end result will be all worth it...Uncle Don is 7 yrs. cancer free and my nephew, Ron Jr., is cancer free since last November. The only complaint Ron's doctor has now is that he is gaining too much weight! So, keep the faith, Lenny. You have a lot of love and a lot of prayers coming your way. Hate to rub this in, but the weather here is gorgeous--in the 80's and low humidity. This is the weather we wait all summer for. I'm constantly thinking of you and hope you will feel a little better before your next round of treatment. With lots of love to you all.

Lenny, Tara, Maggie & Little Lenny II,
I got an email today telling what cancer CAN'T DO and I thought I'd pass it on. Keep up the faith! We think of you often & wish you all well.
Nick, Mary, & Stephanie Jones
WHAT CANCER CANNOT DO
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope
It cannot corrode faith.
It cannot eat away peace.
It cannot destroy confidence.
It cannot kill friendship.
It cannot shut out memories.
It cannot silence courage.
It cannot reduce eternal life.
It cannot conquer the Spirit.

Here it is 3:30 am and I’ve been up since 2:00. This chemo stuff keeps me awake at night. I’ll be up now until Maggie gets up at 6:00 for school.
Hi everyone, first I would like to thank all of you who have sent prays and blessings either by phone, email, cards or visits. They have really given me hope. Also, a big thank you to all of you who have help out by sending food, gifts, helped financially, and the landscape crew who landscaped and cleaned up my yard. Truthfully it’s been very hard dealing with this. Everybody who I talk or see say boy Len (Little Lenny) you look great but on the inside it’s not that terrific. I have nausea, insomnia, tired, have tingling in fingers & toes and burning sensation in my figures and throat whenever I touch or drink anything cold. I don’t wish this on my worst enemy. I’m worried about work, family (the Crab-o-meter) and winter etc. But by the good graces of God and all of your prays and blessings I will make it through this.
Stop by, call or email but if you do stop by just don’t look at the messy house sometimes I don’t get to my mister mom duties on time
Thanks again and hope to here from all of you. Don’t forget to pass on this web site.
Lenny (Little Lenny)

The "Don't Quit" poem was, according to reliable sources in and out of the family, written by Tom Donohue of Wexford, Ireland, not "Anonymous." Anyways, regardless of the author, it describes Lenny perfectly. If you need a place to hang you hat when your at the hospital, stop by. See you later.

Hi Lenny and Tara, Wow, I cannot believe all the well wishes for you guys. I also noticed my daughter, Nancy, the Pathologist, signed your book. I was happy to see that. Also, say hello to Mimi (MEME) for me. I believe your Mom was called Red because of her red hair, but that was how I always knew her, and even my kids always referred to her as "Aunt Red". Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you always, so hang in there, Lenny. You have so many people who love you and are waiting for your complete recovery. By the way, the weather is beautiful here!

Hello again Okay now that I know it went through I will clear up the Big Lenny Little Lenny and Little Little Lenny thing when my sister married Lenny's father he was Lenny and when they had a child of course he was named Leonard like his father but it was confusing since we all called his father Lenny soooooooo we made Lenny...Big Lenny even though Red, my sister said we should call him Len...but that did not work soooooo Little Lenny is the Lenny you all know...then Little Lenny and Tara had a baby and of course Leonard once again and I called him Little Little Lenny...thought everyone would get a chuckle out of that. Tara, how is Mudge and also does Little Little Lenny still have his shooter gun that I gave him so many years ago I know you just loved that... NOT. Also Tara do you know why they call me Me ME and why Red was Red? Just want to keep you smiling love to all Konopinski's 4

Well Butler whipped DePaul...now 4-0! Don't ask me the score tho'...my daughter watches the players, not the plays!! Apparantly Delbarton is our big rival now...will let you know when that is. Hope you're feeling a little better this weekend Lenny...talked to Bobby Soules yesterday during our kids' soccer game and he said you were really sensitive to cold stuff. Gee, you would think living up in the temperatures you have that you would have an "edge"...doesn't seem fair to me! Hope that has gotten better too. I want to know about this remodeling stuff too..we started about 8 years ago, still not done...seems like you move quicker out there! We need some hints...or at least Rob does! We're thinking of you!

Lenny,
I hope and pray for your aggressive treatments with the unfortunate side effects to produce the awesome effects they're designed for! Planning to see you back at work soon, and bringing your humor and talents back to Dakota County! Wishing you all the best. Love to you and your family.

Hi Tara and Lenny,
Thanks for keeping us in the loop on Lenny's progress. I've passed your e-mails on to others in my familiy . . . which in turn has generated lots of prayers and good wishes in your direction. Being one of the irish cousins and the wife of a police officer I can't help but share with you the following irish quote by Brendan Behan "I have never seen a situation so dismal that a policeman couldn't make it worse".

Hi Guys!
This is a really amazing idea and great way for us all to communicate! You know there's many of us in Jersey who are thinking of you and wish we were closer. Hey Lenny, tonight is DePaul vs. Butler! Butler is 3-0. Bring back some good memories?? After all these years BHS finally has lights for night games! You have always given more than 100% so I know you're meeting this challenge head on. We're here for you...all of you!

Hi Tara and Lenny:
Thanks for the updates. I've got lots of folks praying for you down here in South Bend. I have a friend who was miraculously healed of a fatal disease and I believe that God really acts in power in these kinds of situations. We'll keep praying!
Lots of Love,
Bridget

Hi Lenny, Tara, Maggie and Leonardo!!
This is pretty cool!! A great way to stay in contact.
I wish we lived closer so we could visit but then again Kaden is a little tornado and would probably turn the house upside down - even our family doesn't want to babysit him any more!! We do pray for you guys and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm anxious to see photos! Hang in there Lenny! Do you need any more M&Ms? Love Julie
