What I loved most about Leann was, she NEVER lost her sense of humor,we commiserated together, we laughed together and cried together.
She was a "true" friend in every aspect.
She had so many wonderful qualities,
I'm going to miss my friend,
Love, Mary D.

We met as neighbors, became friends, then family. Thankfully, what had been lost, was recently found. Goodbye, Good Neighbor. Goodbye, Dear Friend.

There are many things said about a Grandmother's love. It is pure, it is constant, it is unconditional. All of these ring true when it comes to my Grandmother. From the times she taught me about antiques as a little boy, to the special conversations we've had as I became an adult, Grandma Leann was always someone I looked up to and admired. She was always offered a strong shoulder to cry on when times were hard for me. She offered sound advice when I was confused. She always offered up a delicious dinner (with the most amazing gravy ever) whenever I wanted to hang out. And, boy oh boy, could she make me laugh! Most importantly, she gave birth to my Mother and taught her well. The values that have been passed down between the generations are the things I cherish the most. When I see traits of both of these outstanding women in myself, I know that I will carry bits and pieces of them with me forever. While I cannot physically see you any longer, I will always carry your love and thousands of wonderful memories of you in my heart.
