Leonard Stowell was a brilliant, talented man. He was a brother, a son, a father, & the one I loved. He lived in Grand Junction Colorado. He was a wonderful writer, a witty & generous friend, & the father of a lovely baby girl named Aaren Elizabeth Feather, born July 12, 1999. Sadly, he only held her a few times. She was 5 months old when he died. I know he'd be proud of her. Leonard had black hair & dancing, sparkling black eyes. He was part Oglala Sioux. He chose to take his own life. I will never understand why. I am not angry at him anymore. I will always love him. His favorite tv show was Star Trek. Leonard made the funniest critters out of balloons! He was a total joy to be around. Now when I think of him, I no longer cry out of sorrow, but I cry out of joy at the privilage of knowing such a teriffic fellow! I wish I had more pictures of him, but he didn't like to be photograghed. Thats a big bummer cuz he was one drop dead gorgeous man! He had long fingers & a hairy chest. I could talk to him about anything, but now I realize that I should have listened. Listened to his problems, before they got too much for him to handle. I failed you, Leonard. I will live with that for the rest of my life. I'll not make that mistake again. I love you. I wont ever forget you. I'll make sure our daughter knows how special you were. I promise.
