May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. I have fond memories of visiting Leggett and Mrs. Carner helping me and my family. In recent years we would chat at local restaurants. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
