My heart is breaking for your loss. Leigh was a beautiful lady inside as well as outside. Her memory will be never forgotten, she will be in our hearts forever. Her kindness and beautiful smile has touched many people. I never saw her without that smile and she always made you feel like you were her best friend. Love you all! Kathleen is my sister-in-law but is more like a sister. Lucianne is my daughters mother-in-law and she is like another sister. So Leigh , you are my sister too. Love you all and my prayers are with you.

Leigh was one of the best people in the whole wide world. I loved everything about her. Even though we were not near each other, social media did enable us to communicate in recent years. I will NEVER forget her. My strength and sympathy to her family. Dave, I hope that your many memories of her will sustain you during this sad time.
