Brave and courageous. Beautiful and happy. Spunky and full of life. Inspiring and humble. Leah, you are all of these things and more! You have touched so many lives, and Zoe and I are so glad you touched ours! You shared your positive and happy spirit with Zoe during those boring and painful days in the hospital. You always had a smile on that beautiful face. Until we meet again, friend. You will surely be missed by all!

All your cousins miss you
