Your parents were both very special people and blessed the lives of everyone who knew them. You may remember that I worked with the children of FUMC in Livingston, and I know that Helen and Leo both had such a heart for young people. I know that they passed these same values on to you and your children, as well. There is great comfort in believing that this part of them lives on in you. Be comforted also that Helen is once again with her beloved Leo in the presence of their loving savior. Blessings to each of you...

I knew Helen and Leo Caesar as they attended the same Sunday School class that I did at the First United Methodist Church in Livingston. Leo taught the Seekers Sunday School class quite frequently. I also knew them as they were residents in Resort Country. My husband, Harlan Cochran and his father Ernest Cochran developed the subdivision. I have fond memories of both Leo and Helen and I am so sorry for your loss. I know that they are rejoicing in Heaven.
