Mourners' message: 'Leo, I love you'

One by one, relatives of a Long Beach teenager streamed to the microphone Thursday in the packed sanctuary of Christian Light Baptist Church.

i guess swimming there wasn't permitted for a reason.

It's so sad when a young person dies. What is even sadder is that he chose to ignore the warning signs.

I hope the family doesn't get some shyster lawyer to convince them to sue the City of Long Beach over this.

BTW, my name may be Pompano Beach Gail, but I lived in Long Beach back in the '70's. First on West End Blvd and later on Cleveland Ave.

So you're saying I should no longer have an interest in a place I used to live because I no longer live there. Did it occur to you that I might still have friends and family in the area? Did it occur to you that I might come to visit from time to time?

I try to read Newsday on-line almost daily as I am interested in my former area of residence. I hope that doesn't upset you too much. You might consider broadening your horizons.
