To Earl, Earnest, Ann, and Nicholas:
I remember Leilani as a beautiful, gracious, and loving relative who loved her husband, children, and grandchildren to the fullest. She also loved her extended family and made a point of sharing in their happiness and losses by attending all the special occasions she could as long as her health permitted. She had a magnanimous heart and spirit and was a kind and loving relative to her entire family. She was also blessed with a beautiful voice and loved to share her gift with others. I will miss visiting Leilani in Columbia but I will never forget her generous spirit and her contagious love of life. She embraced life to the fullest and lived it to the fullest as well. You were blessed to have her in your lives as a devoted wife and loving mother and grandmother.
