What is it like to be held
In the same arms that hold the universe?
What is it like to sleep on the chest
Of the king of heaven and earth?
When you open your eyes
And look on the face of the giver of life,
The author of grace, do you know?
That your days here changed everything
You're missed here and will always be
But you left here the greatest gift of all
'Cause our hearts ache for home.
What is it like to breathe in
And breathe out heaven's glorious light?
What is it like to be robed in perfection,
No reason to cry?
When you fell on your face,
Your father's kiss, his welcome embrace,
We prayed for this.
You should know
That your days here changed everything
You're missed here and will always be
But you left here the greatest gift of all
'Cause our hearts ache for home.

Miss you every second of every day. Life just is not the same around here. You were never a "vanilla" girl but always my "confetti" girl. You were filled with so much love and laughter! Your smile lit up so many lives. Your boys are well and growing. So RIP my angel. Until we meet again. Mom

Just want to let the family know how sad I am for their loss. I never met Leah but we spoke almost monthly for about 10 years regarding Anthony and sometimes other topics. She was just a wonderful young women and I know she loved her family. Hold on to her memories.

Yesterday was your 33rd birthday my sweet girl. The day you were born was the happiest day of my life......the day you died the absolute worst. Not a moment goes by without thinking of you.
What I wouldn't give to have you back caring for your sons and sitting and having a glass of wine together.
Until we are together again my beautiful daughter,
Mama

Every time that I saw Leah, she was a ray of sunshine into my life. Her smile and shining brown eyes always gave me joy. I loved her visits to our house with Amy and friends. When Amy was sick several years ago and at IU Arnett Hospital, Leah came and visited with such care and concern for Amy. She was a loving girl that has been taken too soon. My thoughts, prayers and sympathy to her family and friends. God bless you, Leah.
