Through Us, You Live On
Dad, you may be gone,
But through us, your life goes on.
In Jerade and me, your love remains,
In every heartbeat, in every vein.
You’re in our hearts, our thoughts each day,
In our children’s laughter, in the words they say.
Through grandchildren’s smiles and the lives they lead,
Your spirit is there in every deed.
You may have moved to a place of peace,
Where pain is gone and troubles cease.
But know this truth, forever strong—
Through us, Dad, you live on. Love you, your daughter - Tisha ♥️
To the entire family:
I just want to express my deepest condolences to all of you. I never really had the opportunity to know Marlin, which is sad since we are cousins. I do know Brian, Tony, and Dawn and they are really great people. My Dad, Joe Leidner, just went to Heaven on Veterans Day. I know him and “Mouse” are welcoming Marlin home and they are having a great family reunion! I know loss is not easy. So please know I’m wrapping you in hugs, prayers, and lots of love!
Loved my Big Brother. He has been sick for so long. He's pain free and with his moved ones that have passed. One couldn't ask for a sweeter brother. Fly high Big Brother
He was the most down to earth big brother anyone could have had!
I always seen him as Superman and he proved to be one of the strongest souls I have ever known. Rest in peace brother 💙
