Darlene, Charmaine, and family: We're thinking of you all today. We'll always miss Aunt Leah. She was such a special lady. Some of my fondest memories are of sitting around the table with the family and just talking, laughing, and of course, the singing. It's amazing how she remembered the lyrics to all those old songs. No one can take our memories and we'll always cherish our memories of Leah. Love to you all.

Darlene and family, I know how deep this loss is to all of you. I am greatful that she was a part of my life. She had a wonderful sprit and will be missed. I love you all.

You were a beautiful soul that brought joy to my life.

My very deepest sympathy to Leah, Darlene and Darlene's family. Your mom was one of my dearest friends! I'll always treasure and be greatful for the ttime we spent together when she lived in Conn. We would take Misha and my Yogi, and go for walks or just sit on her porch and visiit. Although she moved back to the Cape, we remained very close friends. She was a kind, soft spoken lady who had so many talents and touched so many lives. Her passing will leave a void in the lives of those that loved and knew her well. RIP My Very Dear Friend you will be sorely missed!
