Regarding the above, I have endeavored to call the Law Office of Jerold S. Cook &
Associates in Chesterland Ohio about the will of Mrs. Leuenberger dated January 6, 1981.
There is no telephone response for this Law Office and no legal listing on Google.
The daughter and son-in-law, of course, are familiar with the signature of Mrs.
Leuenberger.
Please contact me with any additional questions. Thank you.
Very truly yours,
IRWIN & McKNIGHT, P.C.
