Everytime you think of Leah, sing her music she played on her keyboard(the ones types and she wrote on/and the ones she wrote down).That is your spiritual weapon. What Leah wrote in her Dream journal are all true, just for different people. And you were right about the date March 23, 2007. No one will ever replace her Scott; for you, and Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God sends his angels charge over your minds, souls, hearts, and spirits, and God give you fresh anointing for your household/dwelling/and businesses, in Christ Jesus Name, Amen. Amen. Amen.

Leah was an old friend and I am shocked at this unfortunate news. Is there any more information on how she died?

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Leah was a bright and shining light for Jesus Christ in this world. Leah made a difference and will live on in our hearts until the day we see her again in heaven. We are all a little more closer to God,a little more loving to one another, for having known Leah. Love you much, Scott, Jayden, Joey and Preston.

What moves through me is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word. I may not understand why Leah left this earth so soon, or why Leah left before I was ready to say good-bye, but little by little I begin to remember not just that Leah died, but that Leah lived. Leah gave me memories too beautiful to forget. RIP my dear cousin and may God watch over your family and friends.

Scott, it was an honor to attend Leah's memorial service today. She truly shone the light of Jesus to EVERYONE who knew her. Though it had been several years since I'd seen Leah in person, I have never forgotten her sweet, sweet spirit and the light of Jesus in her eyes. You and your boys and the rest of the family are in my prayers. Renee (Jackson) Bullard
