To the family of Chick Leach... My name is Kay Friedman. I visited your mother each Monday and we always had such a good time. Her smile and cheerful attitude was such an inspiration to me. We share good times and bad times. Her love of sports was always a subject as well as her wonderful doggie that she loved so much. I have missed seeing Chick these last few months, but my husband Dave always told her "hi" from Kay. Dave told me that Chick was not doing very well, I tried calling but always kept her in my thoughts and prayers.
She is now with our Lord and she is showing the Angels how to always have a smile and how to look so perfect as she always did here. I miss her already, but know that she is happy and being loved by many in Heaven.
Thank you for having such a wonderful Mother and Sister that we all came to love.
