    Angela and family I am so so sorry for loss. Leigh was my friend for 51 years . We were so young when we met but always stayed friends. Leigh was a beautiful person inside and out and was always willing to help in any way. I met her when she needed a babysitter for Angela I enjoyed babysitting. Our friendship was special. I am heartbroken. You always think we have forever, but we don’t Love and keep your family close. Rest In Peace my special friend ❤️
