Not sure what to say?

The last couple of years has been kind of tough, all things considered. When I hadn´t heard from Leona I began to check obituaries. I just came across hers. So sorry for her sons and extended family. I first met Kenny and Leona at church in Durango. They were such good friends to me and my sons and such a great help in times of need. Having moved away from Colorado for several years, I was so happy to reconnect with Leona when I came back to Colorado, only to find that she was moving to KS a...

My Deepest condolences to the Anderson family !

Sure do miss her. Watered the orchids she sent me over time and brought back such a flooding of memories. From the time of when I was a little girl playing with her all the way to her coming to help me with the care of my first born baby. What a Godley caring loving person she was. My thoughts and prayers and love to all the family Jan Hummel niece

Leona was part of my extended family and my friend. I miss her deeply. She often sent me pictures of cardinals as a reminder that my mom was near, happy, and safe. The morning after Leona died a red cardinal appeared in the tree outside. I believe she was telling me she is near, happy, and safe. God bless the Anderson family with grace and peace in their heartache of tremendous loss.

Rest In Peace my dear cousin,... such a beautiful soul,... will miss you

Leona and I would send text messages in the early morning or late evening hours. I was getting up for work, she to take medicine. We'd send pictures. Between my work hours I would spend time in person with Leona. We'd work jigsaw puzzles, watch Price is Right, listen to music or watch ancient movies. Leona did not know a stranger. Her heart was as big as all outdoors. I miss my friend. Love you.

We miss you so much Noma. You were always there for my kids and for that I will always be eternally grateful. We love and miss you.

I am so very thankful to count Leona as one of my close friends. She was a very special lady and I will miss her dearly! My condolences to her family.
