"My mother, Evelyn (Diedrichsen Sommermeyer) Kudryk was one of your dad's cousins, and Margaret Rohlf was my dad's sister so I'm doubly related to Leonard. He always kept in touch with us at Christmas and visited our house in Lincoln one time. I was sorry to hear he died though he lived a good long life and his recent years were hard as his health failed. Our thoughts are with you."
