Grandpop, wow, it's hard to believe that you've left us. You welcomed myself and Chad to the family from the first time we met you. I loved listening to your stories and words of wisdom. I know that you have had a tremendous impact on my daughter Kristina's life. Michael and Kristina will carry your love and teachings to their son due to be born in December, 2009. We will keep in touch with Barbara for you. My only regret is that we didn't have many more years to share your love and learn from you. Chad and I will truly miss you. Oh and Grandpop, I will have one (cigarette) for you as you always asked. Much love!

Uncle Carmen, I will never forget wondering as a child how such a kind man could live under such a rough, gruff voice. When I picture you, I always see you in your chair, pipe in hand, and Prince by your side. Our visits to Dover are memories that will be with me forever. Aunt Barbara cooking pasta and garlic bread, playing with our cousins in the basement, and especially smacking that wiffle ball into the neighbors from your back yard. I was sure I was headed to the majors.

It was a blessing to have seen you again these past couple years, and for you to meet Halley and the girls. You will always be in our hearts, and be loved forever.

Grandpop,

First I would like to say in the short time I have got to know you, you were a wonderful man who touched hearts in many peoples lives and always held out a helping hand for those in need. You were a very strong man who fought till the end and would do anything to see his family together and happy. I loved that in you! I miss playing solitair with you while Jeremy was working (even tho you tought me to cheat!!!) You have helped us in so many ways and always had a heart full of love!! When you pulled me to the side of the bed and told me how happy you were that Jeremy and I found each other and that you loved me touched me SO deeply and really made me feel apart of your family that I never had. Grandpop we will miss you GREATLY but I know you are in heaven watching over Jeremy and I and your unborn great grandson, who I wish greatly would have gotten the chance to know you but your memories will live on in Jeremy and I and never be forgotten. I want you to know Grandpop I will always keep the promise that was promised to you the night before you passed and never let you down. Thank you for making such a wonderful, joyful, loving family for me to be apart of for years to come! We all love you and miss you dearly!

Love,

Andrea

I moved to Lewes in 2006 from Newark De into the community without knowing anyone. Within a few months I met Carmen & Barbara Leto. I instantly knew we would become good friends. People gravitate to them due to their kindness, love, superior values about life & the love of their family. I love them both very much. I watched Camen struggle to become well. He was an exceptional man & determined (or should I say hard headed). He gave me great insight on life. I would call or stop over,we constantly debated & of course he would win or I let him think he did on some occasions. My personality is very excitable & hyper & something was always happening to me, some good, some bad. I always had them laughing at my experiences. Carmen would always tell me to breathe & calm down. I will miss his friendship, love & also trying to help me. Now when I get in a situation, I look up to Heaven & say "Carmen, what do I do now?" You're still in my prayers every night & my heart. I will watch over Barb. I'll see you again some day. Love & God Bless You. Your neighbor friend

Dear Grandpop,

I miss you very much. I wish you never had to leave. When you were laying in bed at the hospital, I came up to you and put my hand on your leg. I prayed to God and said,"Please my Lord, take some of my strength and give it to Grandpop so he can live longer." I didn't want you to die, so I was real sad. I wish it didn't have to end like this. I guess it was God's will for Grandpop to move on. Mine was for him to live longer. I LOVE YOU!!
