Leah was a loving and generous person. She would give her last dollar to help those around her. Family was everything to her, right up until the end. She made sure everyone knew how much she loved them.

Leah's laugh was infectious and she shared it often with her family and friends; she had a great sense of humor.

Special thanks go out to: Connie for sewing Leah's outfit, Janaiya for the beaded necklace, Pam for the star quilt, Leilana for slideshow and art, all the FireKeepers, and those who donated food, supplies, and money for travel expenses. Special thank you to the singers; Donovan, Daris, and Nats.
