Not sure what to say?

Leo was a good friend and neighbor. I am sad that she is gone.

I will miss Leo and her sweet loving dog. My dog Katie and I always enjoyed the visits during our walks. Though just a neighbor, I will always remember her fervor about our community. My sympathies to her family who I could see stayed close to her and comforted her greatly.

Leo my neighbor, Leo my friend
Had a green thumb with all she would tend.
Dancing blue eyes and intelligent wit,
A keen curiosity with which she was lit.

Gave Fancy a home, but said, “Sleep in your crate.”
That lasted a day before Leo gave way.
Snuggled close together or sitting side by side,
The two were inseparable yet held their heads high.

Both regal and opinionated, independent and sweet –
These two wonderful ladies would sit...

I first met Leo eight years ago when I joined the Landscape Committee at our home in Quail Run Condominiums. She was co-chair of the Committee. I immediately recognized that Leo was one of those special people who always acted out of commitment and compassion - never do anything halfway! She always let you know where you stood.

I have many fond memories of Leo the year and a half that I knew her. She loved her family and friends and will be missed by us and her beloved pet, Fancy. My sympathy to the loving family.

Leo remarked to me that her life was a wonderful one filled with a wonderful family and friends. Howard, Katie and Cass, you have given your mother the most wonderful gift you ever could have with your obvious and sincere devotion and love. Leo will certainly be missed by her family and friends but memories of her will remain with us fondly.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.
