I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Leisner. It was easy to see why my Uncle Dick was such a great person after meeting his parents. I am sure Uncle Dick was up there waiting with open arms to welcome his Mom. Rest in Peace, you will be missed.

Aunty Emma--
As far back as I can remember I loved the feeling of knowing that I had an Autny Emma in Arizona that loved me--our closeness, shared humor, and memories were my secret joy and comfort through so many troubled times. There was always a sense of security and comfort knowing that you and Uncle Frankie were my Godparents and if something terrible happened, you would be there for me. It helped my confidence as I grew up knowing that somebody special who lived far away loved me and was thinking of me.

Now that I am an Aunty who lives far away, I do my best to make memories for my Nieces and Nephews that will hopefully give them that same comfort and security of knowing that they are loved even though I am not there to share in thier day to day life.

In my heart and in my minds' eye you will always be my loving, glamourous, adventurous,huggable and whacky Aunty Emma who makes me smile everytime I think of her.

I love you , love you , love you
Kelly

Mom, with a sadden heart I say good bye. Thank you for all the wonderful memories you and Dad have shared with my family. I will cherish them forever. And when we are remembering--you will always bring happiness to our hearts and smiles to our faces. You are dearly loved Mom, and for those of us that you have left behind we will miss you. (But I know two boys that are waiting with open arms!)
Rest in peace.

Dad, be happy and proud of the 69 years you had with the “love of your life”. You and Mom had a long and happy life together. Remember her with Love and Pride! So, until you meet with her again- keep nothing but happy thought of her, she loved you deeply. And remember, I am here for you if you need me and I love you too!

To the rest of the Leisner families, my love, prayers and condolences

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Leisner family during this diffucult time. Our beloved Emma leaves behind a lot of wonderful memories, a loving family and a great grand-daughter in Delaware who carries her name. She was such a soft spoken; elegant lady with kind words to say about everyone. My dear Frank, what a compliment to each other to share 69 years of love that you displayed very visable to each other. They say when one door closes, another one opens. I was told that she passed just as you came into the room. That tells my heart that she waited for you to get there before she left this world to spend eternity with our dear Lord. I'm sure Dick and Jim welcomed her home with open arms. Love, Norma

Gram ~ Was a very dear person in my life. She leaves an emptyness in my heart that cannot be replaced. I will miss her a great deal. I will smile when I think about and remember her smiling face, her faith in the Lord and her kind giving heart. I have peace knowing that she has gone on to a better place and is now with her Sons Jim and Dick.
