Not sure what to say?

My sincere condolences to Governor and Michael Leader and their families upon their loss.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Leader family. I remember my Grandfather, Charles Lightner, speaking highly of Gov. and Mrs. Leader,not only as being friends of his in the poultry business, but proudly of everything they did for the people of Pennsylvania!

Dear Gov. Leader and Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of loss...
Mrs. Leader was a beautiful lady inside and out.
Her smile,gentleness,kindness and love of seniors was such a positive influence on all seniors to live and love daily.
May her memories give you strength at this time. Art Snow and Virginia Galbraith-Snow

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.

I had the pleasure of meeting her at the Frederick Campus. Sending prayers to the family.

My Aunt lived her life with grace, honor, and dignity. I am not sure I ever heard her say a bad word about anyone, except W. She was like a mother to me and she will be missed by all who knew her. I wish my Uncle George and her beloved family strength during these difficult times.

How blessed was Family Leader to have benefited from involvement with a fine gracious strong lady, Mother and GrandMother for so many decades. Knowing happier memories will supplant sadder ones, we pray for prompt amelioration of the trauma visited upon the Governor, his children and grandchildren.

Gov. Leader and family,
Please accept our sincere sympathy. Our prayers are with you during this most difficult time.
