To the Family,
I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of your dear loved one, Ms. Leany. In her 82 years of life, it is obvious that she has touched the lives of so many and will be greatly missed. May you all be comforted by the many memories you were so privileged to have; and may you also find comfort in the words of Jesus himself recorded at John 5:28, 29: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." What a marvelous time that will be when we will be reunited right here on earth with those we have loss in death! But until that glorious time may God prove to be a source of comfort and strength. Take care of each other.
Sincerely, Debbie

She was a wonderful person to be around. Always so full of life. Had more engery then me and I was much younger then her. She made sure that she would always be remembered no matter where you were or even if she didn't see you that you would remember her. May you rest in peace and know that you will be truely missed! I will always have a piece of her with me because that is how she made her mark with me. "You better come and bowl with us on Monday's you have no excuse!"

Family and Friends, Leany was a very special lady. She always made me laugh and never missed a chance to flirt with my husband. He loved it and flirted right back with her. I enjoyed the years I bowled with her on LNO and our years together with GPWBA. She will definitely be missed. Curtis & Kathy Brigman
