    Darren, Noah, Seth and Boyd,
    My heart breaks for you as you prepare to lay Leanne to rest. But I also rejoice with you in knowing she is healed! The last time I saw her she could only take a few steps without having to stop and rest-not anymore! Jesus met her and pulled her into a hug and said, “Well done!” I am so thankful we will see her again. I am praying for you all and I love you!

    Darren, my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Leanne was a beautiful person inside and out. While we did many things in JA together, my favorite time was when we were the “Burger Queens’” at the Exchange Club Fair. Love you guys! Celine

    So sad to learn of Leanns passing. I only met her once. She had a lasting impression on me. Such a zest for life, a beautiful smile and full of laughter. Truly sorry for the sadness this family feels....now and always.
