Not sure what to say?

I will always miss my dear friend P-nutz. We were well known - P-nutz and Irish. She will be in my heart always.

My condolences to Leah's sister, P.K.

PK: So sorry for your loss. I don't know if you remember us, but we bowled with Leah, and played darts with her (and you too!). She was one of our favorite bartenders. The obituary you wrote was so heartfelt and truthful. We hadn't seen Leah in many years, but know she is with many good people who have preceded her.

Miss Leah walked out of her front door one beautiful fall day and said to me as I stood with my hand on her fence,"You are in labor. I have children,too." She just stood across from me and put her hand on top of mine quietly. The following Christmas, she gave my two young daughters singing, dancing Christmas trees and to this day, they are two of their favorite toys. They have brought my family a lot of laughter. Brooklyn misses Miss Leah and my family wishes her family the very best this New...

Sorry to hear of the passing of Peanut, we bowled and played softball together. My husband and I would always make sure we knew where she was bar tending to see her. Rest in peace my friend.

I bowled in the same league for years with Peanuts...May she rest in peace...

A perfect tribute from a wonderful sister. You've taken good care of Leah. We hope you can find comfort knowing that she's at peace.

My heart goes out to you in your loss.
Your Mom, Eddie would come over to cut my Mom's hair and we would have a great time playing, the 3 of us. Leah
was smart and fun and I always looked forward to our play-time together. My Dad really enjoyed Lynn and I think they played cards after work. I'm sorry to find Leah when it's too late to visit. Condolences to all the family. Sandra Kay (Schlekau) Willis

I rarely read obits but this morning my eyes fell one this one and I knew immediately that a spirit must have guided me to read it.
Dear P.K.
What a wonderful sister you have been to your sister .... loyal and faithful with love to the end of her days. May you both find peace, and happiness. Leah has gone to swim with the wolves but know that she is watching over you just as you did for her.
I hope to see you soon and have a drink in her memory.
