I was in JA with Leigh. We worked on numerous projects together. I remember the first time I went to her house for a meeting. She offered me coffee and it was in a big coffee mug. She said I’m not fancy, neither am I. She was such a kind, sweet, caring lady. You all are in my prayers at this sad time. Leigh lived life to the fullest.I cherish my memories with her.

Leigh was our CPA for many years. She became a close friend and mentor and I have missed her during her illness. Though I don’t know the family I extend my warmest condolences. This world was way better with Leigh in it.
