Thinking of you as your farewell Leo. Gone from your side but forever in your hearts. All of the Todd extended family can thank him for challenging Carolyn Barkley and I to do the Todd family history in his lifetime. Margaret Hunt nee Stoddart
I am saddened to hear of Leo's passing. I haven't been able to get to NZ from Queensland for several years as I was looking after Lois. She passed away on the sixteenth of June 2022. It was my intention to catch up again when coming over in October, but too late. My thoughts are with you. Kind regards Bryan.
To Karen and family our sincere condolences for the passing of Leo our thoughts are with you all Regards Wendy and Jay Whitaker.
