Leah,
Still to this day I think of picking up the phone and calling you to complain of days. God, you were always there for me no matter what! Ryan always loved when you came over. He loved stealing your keys! LOL! Im going to miss your smiling face and your silly hats! Im so sorry I couldnt make it to your funeral, but I wasnt informed until it was to late. I still cry every now and then. Especially on rainy days like today. That lamp you gave me will forever stay in my living room lighting my room with your spirit. Watch over my baby for me and keep him outta harms way. I love you girly.

Leah, my sister...my best friend, my sanity. I am lost. I cannot believe this is my reality. You and me...its always been that way. Where there was Leah there was Erin where there was Erin there was Leah. We were known as "those crazy sisters" and always seemed to know how to get things going and people laughing...now you are gone, and there is just me. Jess is having a hard time, she misses you so. Just gotta love Jess dont we :) Im so very glad i have her, but very saddend ive lost you, you and I were different, you were the one person who knew and understood everything about me. Im just sort of in a zone right now. Been checking on mom on a constant, and my moms been with her as im sure you know. I need you sis,...God Leah we were together that entire day (well, everyday)!, and it was amazing. We had such laughs like when we were younger, the sun was shining and we were smiling. It is a day i'll never forget. You saw Kayli and Kolten and Kaci too, Makayla and Brody, they all once more spent time with you. Im so sorry I wouldnt go with you, im so sorry my sister, :( im so sorry...my Leah,...your known for your stubborness, and on that day, this was Gods will. I know that every day since i lost you, i live for you. Dont even realize im doing it at times, but it seems everything goes back to making you proud. I found your note to me, when did you put that in there? It was silly, yep your right, your mom goes to college!!! lolol i'll hold on to that small piece of paper forever. Francine, what a blessing you are, thank God and thank you that you were there. I have been waiting to see if there was a "you" and i was overwhelemd with grief yet relief while reading your entry, please please call me dear, i need to speak with you, i would love it if you would be willing and help bring comfort and closure to both of us. 330-990-4220 please anytime, my leah, my sister...who do i go on without you...
love you sis, Erin

Leah,
You were like one of my own. Since the day you were 2 or 3 and came walking up to the house to play with the girls, it was an instant fit for all of us. I will forever remember your easy ways that you always teased me and the way I always fell for whatever you told me. I know you loved the little ones and we were all blessed to have you here as long as we did. They will forever remember their "aunt Leah" with the fondest of memories. I will miss you until the day I can meet up with you in heaven. Boy what a reunion that will be! Forever in my heart......

To the family:
I am soo sorry for your loss. There will never be any words that can make you feel better at this time. Think of all the good, wonderful times that you all had with Leah. They will forever be chersihed in your hearts. Keep her memory alive by talking about her and sharing all the memories each of you had. Again I am soo sorry.
Dear Leah,
I know that we did'nt really hang out together, but the times that we did I will always remember. I remember the Haunted Houses and the Car rides with Clayton. You were there when I was going on my first dates with him. so the memories of all of us will never be forgotten. You will be a beautiful angel in heaven shining on all of the loved ones that you have acquired in your short life. Rest In Peace Leah.

I am deeply sorry for all your loss. Although I have not seen Leah in many years, I have a lot of fond memories with her from growing up at the Gottwalt residence! My heart goes out to them, her family and all her friends!! God has his reasons for taking each person, and it saddens me that He took her so young. But know thru all those that love her, she will live on! Continue to keep her close to your hearts and I pray that God be there for all you during this time.

She will always be Makayla's guiding angel, we both love her like our own. No words will make the pain go away just remember the happy times just like the pics I just took of the 3 of us acting goofy in the new room you & Ritchy did..I wish I could help take some of the pain away but alls I can do is be here for you if you need me.
