Leanne,... Wow.. where do you start. She always had a twinkle in her eye. She was full of life and lived every minute of it. She enjoyed September. She once wrote a poem called September days. It talked about yelling at the football games that she enjoyed so much. Yes, she padded your tackles Tim.. :) I think she did everyone. She loved her family. Jeff & Jessica we continue to pray for her soul and you that God may give to you all the abundant graces, joy and love she would want you to have. Fill you life with Gods Joy!! God bless you :)

I find it ironic that I think of Leanne today. I heard a while back that she may have passed..not sure when that was. I did a google search to just look up anything I could fine about Leanne Clubb, my best buddy back in my neighborhood in Burnsville. The last time saw her was when my husband and I went to visit Leanne and her family ( Jeff and Jessica ). Fun memories all around for many years of our friendship ! I will always remember Leanne on this day every year!!! Drive by the old house in Burnsville every time I visit my parents..blessing today and forever to her loving family and close friends..Leanne must have touched me tonight ( while making kringla) and asked me to read about her passing...Leanne you are an angel and always will be...Merry Christmas to all of the Clubb family !

Hi, I'm Dan M. Clubb, Leanne's cousin, my father talked to Leanne's father about 15 years ago. I'm not sure if he remembers but we were trying to find him with help of a genealogist agency, and hoped to have contact with him and his family but well, things happen and we lost touch. I'm so sorry to finally find my cousins again through this way. I wish I could of known Leanne she sounds like such a wonderful person. I've known the pain of losing someone dear to you as I watch both of my parents die and younger brother. I know the pain never really goes away but over time it lessen it's grip on ones heart. I pray that God's loving touch will continue to comfort you. I hope some day I could meet you all, well,God only knows. your cousin, Dan M. Clubb

Hello,
I am former classmate of Leanne's from St. John's and was friends with her all through grade school. We lost touch so many years ago and I often thought of her through the years. My heart is breaking for Jeff and Jessica and the entire Clubb family as I just heard of her passing. I have such great memories of Leanne as were growing up. She will be dearly missed. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Jeff and Jessica,
I hope you know how sorry we are for your loss. Leanne was so beautiful, intellegent, artistic and articulate. I treasure the creative gifts that she has given me. Unfortunately I only knew her for a few short years. I wish I had visited with her more so that I would have known her even better. But what I did know of her, I truely liked. She was so kind, always thinking of others. She had a strong spirit, and I will miss that. We're always here to help if you need us.

We were very sorry to read that Leann had passed away. It has been a long time since we have had contact with the Clubb family. We were best of friends when our children were much younger, especially Stacy and Leann. Our best wishes for all of the Clubb family.

Jeff and Jess,

We are shocked and so saddened to hear Leanne has passed. We had been such good friends for so many years and just lost touch as friends too often do. My heart is broken to know that now she is gone. I know her love for you both was so strong even in death it will always be felt! I could hear in her voice when she spoke of both of you how much she truly loved you. She was Lucky to have you both. She is one of those people in your life that you will always treasure. Im so lucky to have many of her creations here to always remind me of her.

One year around Christmas I slipped and told her that I do not put up a tree for the Holidays and have no ornaments for one. A week later she sent me a large tree, a smaller table top tree, candles, candle rings,decorations her own hand made ornaments, candles for my tree. I was literally moved to tears that someone would do that for me. As I soon came to realize she was just that way! Truly kind hearted and a lovely person. Every Christmas since they arrived on our door step these things have blessed our home and we will forever treasure them. We made her a Noah's ark and a Manger because she said she always wanted them.

We are so sorry. Please let us know if there is anything at all we can do..

My condolences to you in this time of loss. I went to school with Leanne for many years from St. John the Baptist through Holy Angels.

I as well went to High school at AHA with Leanne and was so sorry to hear of her passing.

Leanne always had a smile on her face and was so kind to everyone. I fondly remember Leanne during football doing the stats. I am sure she greatly padded my tackles (or lack there of). Thanks Leanne!

I hope her family finds healing during this difficult time.

God bless,
