  1. To all of Levi’s Family.
    Levi and Ella were great neighbors, and really great friends. We are so very sorry for the loss of both of them. They will both be sorely missed. It is going to be hard to spend the summers with out them. Levi was always working on one thing or another. And running all over on his wheels. Showing us what or how he did different things. Always thinking, and making us laugh.Our deepest and profound sympathy to each and all of you. We loved him also.
    He enjoyed talking things over with son Ron…

    Always… Tim and Jean. And sons..
