Dear Nancy, Many fond memories of you and Leo and our great times together. May God bless you and give you peace in the days to come. We are just a phone call away any time of the day or night. Love, Ed & Paula Papanek

Although I did not know Leo very well, I thought of him as a nice kind, even tempered and gentle men. Wishing you comfort in your time of grief. Joan Avery

Nancy, Leo Jr., Steve, I just wanted to offer our condolences on the recent loss of your husband/father. I always saw Leo as a gentle sole with a great sense of humor. He was a fine example of integrity, something too often lacking our world today.

Dear Nancy, Our happiest memories of Nalcrest always include you & "the quiet man." Leo certainly knew what he was doing when he married you. What a great couple. God love Leo & God love you, Nancy. Will call you soon. God bless, Maureen & Al

Nancy,I remember the first time I met Leo about 20 years ago. He was standing on the bridge over the lagoon leading out of Nalcrest. He looked like he needed to talk to someone so I stopped and said Hello and told him I was new to Nalcrest. He told me who he was and he started telling me that his wife was sick and he was worried about her. I thought then he must be a very wonderful husband. He was and now you have shown how much he meant to you by your loving care. Remember the good times and his love for you. God Bless you and may Leo rest in peace.

Nancy: Betty and I are away now, be back soon, but were so sad to hear of Leo's passing. He was always one of my faverites at Literary Club. You two were a great couple, and always enjoyed catching up on the news with you. The good Lord gives, a great mariage, and takes, Leo to his eturnital care. Earl

Dear Nancy: Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Rest in peace within the Lord's open arms, Leo. Your battles are over. Victory is yours. Well done soldier. John & Dorothy Todd

Nancy, My thoughts are with you. I think Leo said goodbye a while back, he was only na shell of who he really was. Remember the good times! Life has been especially tough on yo these last few years. You have been such a wonderful role model, but I know it was such a burden. When all is done, I hope you can take some time for Nancy. You are a sweetheart, and Leo was a gentle man...We will miss seeing you dance together. What a lovely couple. I will pray that you find peace and soon resiliance...let your friends be there for you. We love you, Nancy, and we loved Leo. God bless you and your family. Ada and Dennis Swanson, part of your Nalcrest family

Nancy, What a great couple you made dancing together. You were so inspiring. Especially you,remaining so dear and strong through out.

Leo, you'll be missed by many. Nancy, you know that you have loving neighbors here at Nalcrest. Rest in Peace, Leo...

Nancy, How we wish we could be there with you in this difficult time. Thank God for your family and wonderful friends whom will be very comforting to you. I called you yesterday and left a message. You knowNancy, considering the circumstances,it is a blessing that the Lord took him home. When there is no awareness, expression or quality to life, it is time for your eternity. Leo has moved us all in his own gentle, quiet and gentleman ways. We have so many good times to reflect on, especially those dancing times - both of you sure could move. We hope that all of the wonderful memories will be a comfort to you and your family. His spirit will guide you and will be with us all. Hope everything goes well in the next few days and that you are at peace with his sudden but quiet, peaceful journey to his eternity. That is a blessing in itself. Our hearts are heavy with sadness but we try to let the good memories overcome and prevail. I will be in touch with you by phone Nancy in a few days. Treasure the moments. We are with you in spirit and thinking of you. Jim & Theresa

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Leo Sell. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
