I spent a lot of time around Leisa's mother. She talked so much about Leisa to me. Leisa was her baby. The first thing that came to mind was the joy and excitement Geneva and Leisa must be feeling to be reunited. My prayers go out to her father , husband and the entire family that you will be comforted.

To the Wolfe family. I don't know the family, but I have known Leisa and her family for
over 40 years, and I can truly
say that you got "one of a kind"
with her. It was always a pure joy to be around her in the years that we lived in Atl./Rome

peace and strength in the days
ahead.

Please accept our sincere condolences. Though we did not know Leisa Wolfe personally, we understand the pain of loss and the value of comfort at this time. We find comfort in the Bible's message. One such message is at Proverbs 14:27, which describe God's word is a well of life. That is a true comparison, for God's word helps us to enhance our lives now and gives us the hope of living everlastingly with our loved ones again. It is our hope that the Bible's message brings you comfort as well.

I have very fond memories of Leisa when she was about 14 years old. Her mom and I lived in Haiti teaching a Bible class and Leisa would come and spend the summers with her mom. She was so much like her mom: Always saw the good in everything and always having a good time in every situation.
My love goes out to all of her precious family.

Leisa's family became my family in 1968 when I began attending church with my two small boys-her Mom and Dad took us in as their own. I loved Leisa and her sweet spirit and her tender heart - always.
