Aye, kid.
I still think about you all the time, and I hope that things are easier where you are. Your life ended far too soon and I wish I could've saw grow with us.. You were one of the coolest girls I had ever known. One of the best people I had the pleasure of meeting and you didn't deserve to go so soon. I cherish you in my memory and I hope your family has found peace in your absence. I kinda haven't yet. Just knowing you're not here and the fact that it's almost been 12 years since you've been gone eats at me every time I think about the old times. You are a legendary figure, and we all miss you LSJ.

Pam & Rita - there are no words to express how sorry we are for your loss. Leotie was such a lovely girl with incredible eyes and a beautiful smile that will not be forgotten. We are praying for you during this difficult time and are here for you if you need anything. Leotie is at peace and you now have your own angel in heaven.

Every time I think about you, I get a huge smile on my face. You were always such a cheerful person, you always had the time of your life. I remember when we were really close, I'd always compliment on how small and cute your feet were.. when me and Jannira stayed the night at your house in middle school, we sat on your mommys bed and looked through pictures of you as a baby, you were so adorable.. it's really hard losing someone you love.. but I know she's at peace now, and I know that where ever she is, she's smiling. (:

I never knew you dear one. But my friend Rita's reaction to your loss tells me that you were a lovely woman who's life was much to short. I know that you are not in pain, and that you have moved on to something that we meer mortals can not know until our time also comes to pass from this world. So I pray that those who love you can find some solace until they once again are able to see you and/or feel your presence beside them. ?????? ??????? ??? to all who miss you so.

To Leotie:
We had our good times, we had some bad
But, you were a beautiful angel that we had
For a short time, as Our Lord needed you more
I just wish we'd had more time to explore
We did get on each other's nerves many days
But we still loved each other, lots, in our own little ways.
I loved you dear with all my heart,
I sure wish you hadn't had to depart
From this world of troubles and pain
I will always want u back again and again
You had so much in your head that's what they've all told
That it makes me so terribly sad that you couldn't grow old.
I've lived my life and so wish I could trade places with you
You had so much to offer this world, it's true
The talent you had, your beauty and brain
Was so very obvious to all that remain
You don't know how I miss you so
You were “a light” for all to know
You don't know how much I miss you now
Please keep everyone smiling as I know you know how
As always, your Nanny

You are so fortunate to have had someone as wonderful as Leoti in your life. I'm so happy that you have a support group of friends and family around you. Lean very hard on them to get through this.

Leotie,
I only met you a few times. I never really knew you but I do remember you as a beautiful little girl that grew up to be a beautiful young lady. I wish I had the chance to know you better. God took you away from all of us way to early. Its a tragedy to loose you so young. The family will miss you a whole lot. Rest in peace beautiful. Pam words cant express how sorry I am for you and the lose of your baby girl. My sympathy goes out to you and your family.
