I always thought that one day I would get to see Aunt Leanne again, I always thought there would be time.

Now I think back to the last few time I saw you... I remember a vibrant, funny, wonderful woman who excepted me and always showed kindness to me. I wish I could have told you how much that ment to me.

My heart aches for your children, your parents, your brothers and your friends. May they find comfort in their cherished memories of you, and knowing that you are watching over them now.

Mrs. Ball

We couldn't get close to you at the funeral. From the amount of people that showed up you should know how much Leanne was loved.

I remember when Jen and I were in Jobies we wanted to be just like Leanne she was the cool girl of the group. She had a pick up truck, drove us fast so we would laugh, listen to loud music and wore make up. What we would do to be like her.

Be proud that Leanne was your daughter I was proud to have known her.

Our thoughts and prayers will be with you through this hard time.

Leanne, my dearest friend and sister at heart. I will always cherish the unconditional love and support we gave each other. We are very fortunate to have been able to share our childhood years to now. I will always remember the fun, laughter and tears we shared. We are blessed to have taken part in seeing each other get married, being pregnant, becoming mothers and spending time with our children. Leanne, you blessed me with three beautiful godchildren, whom I will watch over the best you know I can. Since your passing, I have been with your family sharing tears and good memories, yet I can't help feeling so alone. Just the other day I got up to phone you, like ususal, and then It just hit me, you're gone. God must have really needed you for him to have taken you away from all of us so soon. Leanne, you are so beautiful, thank you for all of your love and kindness...until we meet again, I love you.

I want to pinch myself and wake up from this nightmare that says my Auntie is gone and not coming back. It seems unreal and I can't believe how suddenly she has been taken. But I find comfort in knowing my baby boy Noah will have his Great Auntie Annie watching over him as his guardian angel. I have so many memories of her, our slumber parties, rocking out to the movie Grease, ( I don't care what you say Annie I will always be a better Danny) and listening to Abba... All of the memories out at the lake, the road trips to Osoyoos, and her famous grilled sandwiches. She was always phoning to check up on me and tell me she loved and missed me and I will really, really miss her. I love you so much Annie. Xo

My thoughts go out to Leanne's family at this time of loss. Her sudden passing is quite shocking. I had gone to school with Leanne, but didn't know her well, until we had bumped into each other at the neighborhood pub. It was a pleasure getting to know her. She always spoke of her kids and how much they meant to her. The smile that she showed when we talked about them, I hope her kids know just how much they meant to her. My deepest condolences to Leanne's family. May you find comfort in the words of friends and family, and may her memory live in your hearts forever.

I will always remember the fun and the laughter from our youth. Nobody could make me laugh like Leanne could. I have a lot of good memories of her. This is such a huge sad loss for your family, I feel just horrible for all of you. I will keep you in my prayers and will ask god to always keep a close eye on her babies. She will never be forgotten and will always be loved.
