Not sure what to say?

I only lived in Williamsburg, VA for four years...that was when I was still in kindergarten. Now, at 18 years old and having traveled everywhere, I still vividly remember Miss Cathy and her ballet classes. She passed down her love of dancing to me and she loved us with all her heart. I felt this immense love, we all did. To this evening of remembrance, I still can't believe she is gone because to me she is forever alive in my loving memories of her. She has truly impacted who I am in so so...

Cathy - You will be forever remembered for making every young dancer, and their parents, feel special. Always positive, you offered encouragement and helped each child reach their potential. You will be missed by all who love you but knowing that you are now at peace, surrounded by God's love, is a reassurance to us all that God's plan for a new home is truly a blessing.

The Helmick family will Miss you Mrs Cathy. Claire loves and misses you. She told me that she is glad you are now in heaven with Jesus and that you are well. Liam will also miss you. He loves how you helped him become a handsome prince this year. I thank you for loving my children through teaching them dance. I will miss your warm smile.
Sincerely,
Nicole

Dear precious Leach family, our hearts and prayers are with you as you grieve the great Loss of your wife, mother, sister, and grandmother. Kathy has been a shining Light in Williamsburg for many years, showing the Love and Joy of her deep relationship with the Lord Jesus to every life she touched . She will be greatly missed , and always lovingly remembered.

When I was 6 years old I remember sitting on the couch at home and there was a knock on the door and I could hear a little girl tell my dad that her mom told her that another little girl who took ballet at there studio lived there. I went to the door and there stood Amber and Heather and their dog Ginger. That was the first day that I got to experience the love of the Leach household. I spent the majority of my young life growing up in her home. She always made you feel welcome and loved...

So sorry to hear about your loss. You know that God and Jesus are in the best position to comfort us when we lose a loved one in death.

I have so many wonderful memories of Cathy- from being a little girl dancing in her "Free Willy" ballet, to being a teen taking ballroom classes from her, to being an adult and teaching with her. Cathy always had a kind word to say to everyone she saw. She was the salt and light. Prayers to her family and her students during this time.

Dance on in heaven sweet lady.
