Not sure what to say?

Mom you are the best mom anyone could ever ask for, there's no doubt that this life is going to be completely different without you now,but your blood runs through my veins making me stronger and stronger with each day. Thank you for everything you've taught me I will keep your lessons close and our memories closer. Not a day goes by that I don't miss you with every beat of my heart. I love you mom and miss you very much, until we meet again

I met Leanne while working at Monroe Clinic Hospital. She was a very friendly and caring person and had a great smile. She will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathies to your family.

I felt sadness to hear of Leanne's passing. I met her years ago when we were both in our early twenties. We had gone on a double date together. She was instantly friendly and warm, and so easy to talk to. I sensed she was a genunie person, and oh those beautiful sparkleing yes and smile! We lost track over the years but I never forgot her. May God bless her children and family. May you find comfort in remembering all the wonferful times you shared together. Julie Lamm xoxoxo

Brandon and Alisha. You were the light of your mom's life. Brandon, you were her constant and she was able to always depend on you. Alisha, you were her princess, she loved you deeply. Many times she would talk about the two of you when we would chat. I remember the first day I went to work at the Monroe Clinic. I had just moved to the area. Leanne met me in the lobby (late, because Leanne was always on her own time). She came up to me and said she was so happy I was there and gave me...

Leanne was such a nice and caring person. Our sympathy goes out to you and we are sorry for your loss.
