To my bothers, sisters and all of the family and friends, I'm so glad that only God can give us peace that passes all of our understanding. How amazing to go to a funeral where there was more joyful tears than sorrowful tears. I believe that the first thing Ms. Leak/Mother is doing is praising God for who He is and for her salvation. And the next thing is praying for her family and friends while she is in her eternal home. Thank you JESUS.
From Her Oldest Daughter,

To the Leak family, May God comfort and strengthen you during your time of bereavement. Indeed it was a honor as well as pleasure to visit Ms.Leak at the convalescent home. I was always welcome with her beautiful smile. i will remember Ms. Leak playing the chimes at a social activity in Nov,09, Ms.Leak played her chimes faithfully and on time as if she was playing for a orchestra.
