Leigh, Leigh, how do you even begin to say goodbye to a friend you've known since we were just little. My mind is full with memories of us -Peach, Boston, Cape, Florida... on and on... the laughter we shared, the countless adventures we had growing up, and some of the absolute best times of my life. Even though later in life we saw each other less, you were always in my thoughts. You possessed a unique gift, my dearest friend, always able to make me smile and laugh. I am, and will forever be, thankful for the day our lives crossed paths, for the incredible gift of your friendship. My heart aches at the thought of you being gone. I'm going to miss you terribly. All us girls on one of our many adventures. I love you!

Leigh was a kind person that helped me with my transition when I joined AIM Mutual in the early 1993. She was always eager to help without reservation. She will be missed dearly. May she be welcomed with open arms in haven. RIP. Danny Lee
