Paul Jeffrey ('43-'93) & Gregg Leigh('45-'80) - Denver, Colorado 1950
On August 3, 1965, just five months after my birth, Florence May Romeo Sharits (their mother, my grandmother) died a tragic death in Denver, CO. It tore both sons to pieces. Gregg L. quite violently lost his battle with drugs in 1980 in Berkley, CA. Paul J. ended the torment he felt both mentally and physically at age 50. The Death Certificate states that he died of a drug overdose on July 8th, 1993, but that's only the date that our dear friend, Dr. O'Grady, found him. I am sure he began that path on July 4th, his favorite holiday. I miss them. They would be so proud of my boys. -Christopher
