Leroy in 2012
This is my dad, Leroy. He was born 1947 in McLeansboro Illinois, the youngest of 13 children born to Gladys and Hallie Griffith. He passed away on Father’s Day 2013 (June 16). He was quiet and easy going but loved to tease and make people laugh.
Struggling with the loss of my father, I feel such a strong need to say some things to him that I didn’t have a chance to say or will never get a chance to say. I am hoping that blogging my notes to him will help me heal.
