Leeca,
You will be missed by so many Family and Friends.I will never forget the times we had shared together.Thank you for being there when I needed you.
I will never forget our trip to Nashville,(I don't think I have never shopped so much)Our camping trip for the weekend at Tar Hollow....I think we were more worried about Stacy and Ronnie and our Grand kids making it home safe from Virgina,(I can picture you laughing at me when I tipped the boat...Our games of Rook on the weekends.. Boy did we ever try to beat the guys......You will always have a place in my Heart. Good by for now...

If love could have saved you, you would have never died, It broke our hearts to loss you, but you did not go alone,for part of us went with you the day God called you home.

Leeca,
Me and Jimmy wrote this poem for you while you were still with us and me and Emily read it to you.
We are hoping for a mircle and hoping that you would be Ok, Mircles
come and go just like time flys. One day the butterflys will come and land in your garden. Yellow and pink flowers bloom while you are picking more.You go inside and listen to Jeff Bates ("long slow kisses"). We all knew that you were in pain, but the the Lord called you home and took away all of your pain.Things will never be the same.
We all will miss you and always will remember the good times we all had together.
We love you grandma Leeca
Madison and Aaliyah.
