High Terry Bob: It's been a long time. I'm still kicking at age 83. I still get on the radio 3892.
I still share your grief. What a promising future she would have had. Cut loose from life much too soon. She was such a pretty gal. May her memory linger long. My very best Terry. Tell the gang I said hi. Ken W8NB

Your friendship,and love meant the world to me. Dont worry me danielle, and chelsea are holding it down in new albb/columbus/ohio state/HOWARD, oh AND I hang out with your bro a lot, your mom has always been my second mom too love her. anyway this is so long, but I just wanted you to know we are getting by, I'll know your smiling at me the next time the sun shines.

I am so sad to hear of your passing Leigh. My prayers are with your family and always will be. I hear and read how wonderful you were and I wish that you were still here with us. The last time I held you, you were a baby as I helped you get ready to pick up your cousin at school. I made four curls stick out from underneath your cap and made sure you were cute and ready to go. You smiled the whole time. I know that you are with God now and all those who came to Him before you, like Nonnie, Mama and Dat and that you don't hurt anymore. God bless your family and I will keep praying for them. Rest in Peace Leigh. You are beautiful.....

What a painful time and a sorrow it is to lose a child so beautiful and talented. I remember meeting her maybe a couple times when she was a little younger. I know the terrible hurt it brings, for my wife Maysel and i lost a son. God in time will heal the hurt if you will rely on Him. It will always be there but He will make it easier to bear.
My prayers are certainly with you all. Love you guys.
