So sad to hear of Leanne's passing. I met her briefly in Thunderbay when she was so little. It was at a family reunion as I was first cousins with her father, Brian. May she rest in peace in the arms of her father.

Leanne and I grew up together and reunited once again at the airport. We often traded cricut supplies and nails stuff with each other. She was a wonderful friend when I lost my husband last year. She always had a smile for everyone. I will deeply miss not having her around. Rest in peace my dear friend.
