Not sure what to say?

I loved her. I was in John' s classes in school. We lived about six from them. Sorry!!!!

I had the Privilege of
attending School with Leigh Known as Rosa Lee, she was always a fun person to be around She was a beautiful, charming and witty, she was extremely bright, never had to study every thing just came natural to her she was always the life of the party, our year book was called ( The Summit) Rosa Lee was Miss Summit in 1957 I will never forget her and the good times we all had together.

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your love one. May your family find comfort in drawing close to God at this most difficult time in your lives.

Sounds like a wonderful woman, I'm sure she'll be missed by all.

I miss her, and I never met her.

The people from Central are all proud of Leigh. In Years past, I always heard the latest from her mother who was a friend of mine. It was a pleasure to see her smile and eyes sparkle when she was asked about Leigh and her brother and sisters.

Offering my condolences and hoping that you find comfort in knowing that God is near to us when our hearts are broken.

So sorry to hear of Rosa Lee's passing

I've the had the privilege of knowing Leigh for the past 25 years having being introduced to her by my ex-husband who was representing her at the time. Leigh was her own woman--independent, irreverent, highly intelligent and of course extraordinarily talented in all of her endeavors in life. Leigh lived her life on her own terms and will be deeply missed in mine. My condolences to her siblings, Frankie, Morgan and John.
