Dear Barry, Brian, Brad and families,
Leona fought this dreaded disease head on, sadly it wasn't meant to be. She passed way too soon, but God has her now and she is no longer in pain or worrying about what will be. Keep her memories close and you will get through this very sad time. She was a good soul and ejoyed life to its fullest. God Bless.
