Leila Peterman

Please accept my condolences. Leila and I were pen pals through Help Hospitalized Veterans. I hope she received the gift I sent her before she passed. I will really miss her wonderful letters. God bless all of you. My prayers are with you.

We got such a nice Christmas card. Your mother spoke so sincerely and with much love. It seems to me that the older she got, the more open she was about herself and her feelings. We cannot truly tell you how deeply we grieve her passing. During our life sometimes there is a situation or a person who affects our lives-- and she is that person!!

I was just thinking about calling to wish Leila a Metry Christmas when I got the call saying she had gone "Home." What a wonderful time she must have had celebrating Christmas with Jesus!

Many times I remember my mom (Usona Larsen) calling to say she was staying at Leila's. They always played scrabble & just rested together remembering the old days. Leila even allowed me to stay at her house several times when I'd come to Fairbanks, didn't need much notice, just a phone call the...

So sorry for the tragic and untimely loss of your mother. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of Leila's family and extended family. She was a very special woman and we will always remember her quiet, loving, serving way. The world would be much improved if more of us were like Leila. Wish we could be there next weekend but it just won't work. Hope the live streaming idea works out. Imagine the joy in heaven as she and Ken and Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa etc. are all reunited. Love and Hugs to all.

I had just sent her Christmas card, as she blessed me with sending old Evangels/Lives to me in Barrow many years, as I had enjoyed reading thru out my youth & adulthood. We were blessed attending in early 1970's at Graehel AOG basement church w/Pastor Dale & Mary Umphreys and met up with Leila & Ken & family there, thru out the years I always felt at home/welcomed at ICAOG, or whenever I visited and saw Leila she was always so kind & loving to me & my little Mary when we attended ICAOG while...

Auntie Leila and Uncle Ken were rare people that one was privileged to be part of their lives. Both were always ready with an eye-crinkling smile or a warm hand of comfort. Whenever they visited Saskatchewan, they brought a joy and love that seemed to have no bounds even in sad or difficult times. What I will forever remember about Auntie Leila were her hugs. She wrapped you in her arms as though she promised to never let go . . . even when she was gone.

All of you are in my...

So sorry to hear of Aunt Leila's passing. Thinking of all of you. Sending hugs to everyone.
