Leah A. Swanson

from the first time we met at First Pres., to the nights talking and laughing with friends at Fry-n-Pan after shows, to the time that deer popped out on the road in wyoming and changed your plans for arriving in Washington...you were always a true friend. With a smile as big as her heart, she always cared sincerely about her family, friends, and society. You will be sorely missed, my deepest sympathies to the Swanson family and all who knew this heartwarming woman. peace

Leah, you were always so kind. Especially when I was down. Your smile could only match your hard-headedness. Without a doubt, you are preparing for your sisters
Godspeed.

This young woman had a courage and determination we could all learn from. She withstood suffering that would have conquered most anyone, and those of us who knew her, even a little, grew to love her. This young woman was a gift to many. I am grateful our paths crossed, even if for a few moments. I will carry her in my heart. My love to all who loved, Leah.
