Leona's Family,
I was blessed to come to know Leona while visiting my mother(Helen Chauvin)at LaChaumiere. What a beautiful soul! She was such a joy to see and to talk with. She was also so positive and pleasant. I will miss seeing her immensely. May the Lord embrace this wonderful woman and welcome her into eternal life of happiness. May God give her family and friends His strength, His spirit, His guidance and His nourishment during this time and always.
