I met Leona when I was a teenager and she was a young Mother of three children--I lived with Leona and Tom for a Summer and was a "Nanny" or an "au pair", although neither of those labels were widely used at the time. . . I came to be very fond of the whole family--Leona,Tom,Gloria,Kenny,and Baby Janet. But it was Leona's influence that stayed with me---her role-modeling of how to be a Mother,a grown-up,a homemaker,all stayed with me. But what stayed with me the most was the fact that Leona was a Nurse--I was incredibly interested in,"How do you DO that??",not just where do you go to school,but what really makes you a Nurse? I went on with my Life,got married, gradually went through a diploma program,had children,then earned a BS in Psychology,then a BSN. All the while,my mental image of Leona's calm,good-humored, honest,direct,competent persona guided me in "how to be a Nurse". I recently retired from a 30+ year career in Oncology,Psychiatric,and Administrative Nursing. Some people just come along at the right time of your Life to really have an impact---Leona,that's what you did for me. Thank you.

We grieve with you in your loss of your Mom. She will be greatly missed by all of us. She had such a fun and loving spirit. God has no doubt shared a few good laughs with her already in Heaven.
