LeeAnn,
I miss you so much girl! I've been thinking about you alot lately. I was driving to work on Sunday morning and we got some snow overnight. I started thinking about our drives in your Paseo in this weather. We always had so much fun! I love so very much and I can't wait to see you again! ❤
Love always and forever Harper

I was shocked and saddened to hear that we lost you to the physical world, whenever Charity and I got back in contact. I had been searching for you via facebook and it all made sense as to why I couldn't find you. Charity is still grieving in the most unimaginable way and I just ask that you help her have peace so she can move on with her life. Your energy really was infectious and I can't wait til the day I will see you again....Thank you for the joy that you brought everyone that came in contact with you. I know you are around all of us and we'll see you one day, again.....

Miss ya so much not to mention the things that I know you would be into. Love MOM (Charity's MOM)
Easter is coming and I remember one the excitment you had you were probably 18 you woke up on Easter Morning when you spent the night with Charity and found even you had a stuffed Bunny and basket along with the candy's. I know you thought you were all grown and all but I am sure that day you felt like a little girl for a while until you had to go out and face the world.
Ok I gotta stop it or Ill CRY LOve you baby!!!!

Well baby doll, it is so hard to believe that you have not been with us for a year. I keep replaying in my mind the events of the night of the crash and the day that we received the news. There should be a law against receiving tragic news such as that in the fashion that we received. I am sure that many people have gone on with their lives, but I can't. The pain and loneliness will never leave me. Maybe someday I will write a book about all of the pain that I have experienced in my life. I love you more today!!!!! Mom

So you crashed our party. I guees i will forgive you. It was so weird reading our stupid notes. What were we thinking. It helps to keep you close though. Knowing your thoughts on various topics, we won't go into details. I love you and miss you so much. Happy Birthday and Merry Chrismas Wee-Wee.
P.S. I found a note that said that.

I finally got my tattoo for you, and I love it. I have always taken you everywhere I go, but now everyone can see that. I still cry when I hear our song, how corny does that sound. I love you chu.

Today is the six month anniversary of your death. You are in my thoughts every minute of the day. I talk about you to someone every day. My grief has not subsided-I don't cry everyday as I did. There is a void in my life that will never be filled. I am sure that I did not handle every situation in your short life as you wanted me to, but I was always there praying for you. You know that I love you like no other. I hope that your new life is without worry or pain; your contagious smile is winning a new set of friends. All of my love to my beloved "baby girl".
Love you always, Mom

I knew LeeAnn through High School and through band. She always had a smile on her face at every football game and every marching competition. She is going to be dearly missed by all.

The more days that pass, the more I think of the good times. Each day that passes is a reminder of all that is meaningful. Everything is a reminder of something we did. Because she is in my thoughts everyday, I know she is a huge part of my life, and I know that she knows that. I miss you Chu. I love you.

I do not have a single memory of LeeAnn that doesn't include her always warming smile and a laugh that could liven a room. I feel truly honored that I was able to call her a friend. She taught me so much and for that I will ever be grateful. LeeAnn will be deeply missed but never forgotten.

Some many memories of LeeAnn have flooded into my heart and mind. I loved her like a sister, and was priveledged to say i had her as a friend. Of all the memories, somehow what I see and hear most is her laugh. I know she's with us, especially her family, helping us through this time.
