Leah was the most faithful member of our Monday morning gathering at the New London United Methodist church. She was a special lady.

Leah will be deeply missed by all of her church family and friends at the New London United Methodist Church in New London, Wisconsin. This will be especially true on Monday mornings when she faithfully attended the prayer group while she was in Wisconsin. Our thoughts and our prayers are with all of her family and friends.
I have my own special way of remembering Leah as she crocheted a beautiful ivory afghan for me which I keep close by in my favorite chair. It will remind me of my "warm" memories of Leah while also keeping me warm as winter approaches in Wisconsin.
Blessings and may God bring you all comfort and peace.

Our family will hold "Mrs. Mike" in our hearts, with memories of her backyard picnics, but especially the many times enjoying her company at her favorite gossip spot on the porch where her eyes twinkled in-between her crochet stitches while she crafted the many lovely blankets for so many. We will treasure those stitches of time with her forever! The Buckbee Family

Grandma, we talked practically each and every Saturday for about 10 years, and I am now at a loss for what to do first thing in the morning on Saturday! I will have great memories to carry me through and just knowing that you and Grandpa are finally together is such a wonderful thing! We love you so much and miss you terribly! I will be back in NY to spend time with everyone, and to celebrate you in the Spring, just as you would have wanted!
