Ledom Family,
Your dad was such a great man. I really got to know him and your mom at church when she did funeral dinners. They were a sweet couple. After your mom died Chuck came to my office to have coffee just about every Monday after he went and did the rosary with your mom. I loved those mornings, they were full of stories and laughter. I am so sorry he is gone but I know how happy he must have been to see his Mary again.
Prayers to you all!

Dear Mark & entire Ledom families:
Condolences & heartfelt sympathies to all of you. The Ledom family is a close knit family; I know that from my days growing up in Lawrence, being a former member of St. John The Avengelist Catholic Church & Corpus Christy Catholic Church, & also from living w/ Mark while I was at KU. May all of you find comfort in remembering and cherish the love & care Mr. Ledom showed in his life time. We all pray that his soul & souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. God Bless & may He comfort all of you during this time of sorrow.
Greg, I’m so sorry to read of your dad’s passing. I admired him greatly for a very long time. Prayers for you and your family as you go though this time of mourning and reflection.
Dear Ledom Family,
Halley and I are so sorry to hear about Chuck’s passing. We have known the family for many years. I have taught some of them. I know he is happy to be with Mary. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Dear Greg,
My thoughts and prayers to you and your family on the passing of your dad. Very fond memories of the Ledoms during our high school days and getting to know your mom and dad.
As you know already, time will heal your lost and the memories will always be with you and the family. Cherish your memories to get you through the “hurt” and leave the rest in God’s hand to pull you through.
Peace brother,

We just word of Chuck’s passing. We are sorry that we did not know as we would have been at the service to share and support all of you. Wayne and he joined the Navy and went to boot camp together. We spent many happy times with he and Mary. He drove straight thru from Norfolk to our wedding in Wellsville Ks (I think so he could fill our car full of rice). He was so proud of all of his family. And he loved Mary so much and has missed her so much. We will miss all of his phone calls.
May our Lord and Savior hold you all in his arms as He will never leave you forsake
you.
Wayne and Vera Kunard.
