Sorry for your loss. Mrs. Ledom seems quite the person that did things that needed to be done. I do not see Jack Ledom listed, perhaps a relative. I knew him in Wellsville.
Chuck, Teresa, Becky, Mark, Susan, Greg, Kathy, John and Josh and all the Ledom family, you have our deepest sympathy at your great loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Chuck, Mark and Family
My thoughts are with you all on the loss of a very important woman in your lives. I hope today is bearable and that tomorrow is even better.

Dear Chuck, so sorry for your loss. Please think of the good times and all the Knights will be praying for you and your family.
Karon — Mom and I are thinking of you during this time. We send our condolences to your and your family.
I will always remember Mary as a very caring woman with a big heart. The last time I saw her she brought her wonderful cinnamon rolls to comfort us as we mourned a family member. She said she couldn’t eat them, but she loved to make them. I hope your memories will comfort you all at this sad time.
To Teresa,Paul and family,
Though words don’t seem enough right now, our deepest sympathies. We are thinking of you.
Dear Mr. Ledom, Mark, & family:
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, & living w/ Mark while I was at KU. Mrs. Ledom’s love was for her family…may all of you cherish & remember the love & care she gave. We pray that her 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.
Chuck and family, I am so sorry to hear of Marilyn’s passing. She was such a good example of wife, mother, and friend. You will miss her most but we all feel the loss. God bless.
