My deepest condolences to the family, who lost a wonderful light in this world. May God comfort you during this sad time.

Many years ago, I used to work at a small hospital in Saint Albans, Vermont. I met many people there and cherished my time in Vermont. Years later I had moved to Johnston County in North Carolina, and started working at UNC, Johnston Health. One day this very cheerful nurse started a conversation with me when I worked in the ER, and I looked at her and said, "There is something familiar about you", and she said the same thing about me. A little "back and forth later" we both remembered we crossed paths at Northwestern Medical Center in Vermont more than a decade earlier. Small world!

She had a spark and always took time to greet me while we passed each other in the ER. I will miss her smile and our conversations. She left too soon. I will never forget Leigh.
Fly high, Nurse Leigh!

Leigh always asked me about my daughter, I appreciated that so much. She had such a kind heart. I enjoyed the time we spent together working in the Emergency Room at Johnston. She is truly missed.
