Sending my sympathy & condolences to Nan, her brother & families. I met Leah & John when I was quite young, as I was a friend & neighbor of Michele Smith, their niece. They were also friends of my parents, & always such nice people! John had a great sense of humor, & Leah was always so friendly. I was very happy I got to see them not too long ago at Nativity Church breakfasts. I hadn't seen them in years, but they remembered me. Leah is now with her husband. May they both rest in peace.

Leah was a wonderful woman. The children she helped to raise turned out great. She always gave a helping hand at church and in the neighborhood.
