Not sure what to say?

Our hearts are very heavy as we just learned of Leona's passing today. Even though we only knew Leona through our weekly delivery of Meals on Wheels for the past 6 or 7 years, she left an indelible mark on our hearts. We would find her weekly, welcoming us into her home with a big smile, Christian music softly playing in the background and her telling us she was happy to see her "Tueday friends".

So sorry for the loss of your mom, prayers and thoughts for your family

Our deepest sympathy to the family on the passing of Leona. May you cherish the memories during this difficult time. All our in our thoughts and prayers.

I have so many fond memories of my time spent with Leona. She was a wonderful person. She was willing to share her wisdom of life and her knowledge of her strong Christian faith.
