Her smile and laughter brought so much joy into our lives. Growing up with this beautiful soul was a great blessing. I’ll take care of your boyfriend and we all miss you dearly.
Oh dear aunty Leanna, We will deeply miss you. I for sure will. Will miss our upcoming casino run I promised you when I last talked to you. All the funny stories you used to tell me and the laughs we shared. You will forever have a place in my heart shima yazhi. Love you forever!
I’m sorry for your loss. Your mom had a warm heart and always made anyone around her laugh.
She always welcomed me in your home and made me feel like I was one of the family. I will miss the times when we would joke around and pick on one another and then just laugh afterwards.
I will miss you talk-a-lota. ❤❤
I will forever cherish all of the memories I hold in my heart of you throughout the many years. You were such a beautiful soul here on earth❤️ I can’t thank you enough for raising such an amazingly beautiful daughter whom I am able to call my best friend. I love you so much! Until we meet again. ?
My sweet grandma, I miss all of my random visits with you. There was random days my mom and I would randomly show up at your house and there was never a time you turned us away. You always welcomed us in with hugs and always offered drinks and food. You never let us leave hungry or thirsty, you made sure we were okay before we left..
I will miss your hugs, your sweet talks, your lectures and just every little thing about you. I will forever cherish the memories you left behind. Rest in peace grandma, love you!
Gone but surely never ever forgotten.

Not knowing it’ll be the last convo. will have when you told me to wait for you to wake up from your nap to sit and hold your hand while you get your rest. You talking to me in your sleep as i talk to you.If we could only have this life for one more day. If we could only turn back time. You know you’ll be our life, your voice, your reason just to be you once again.We love you Shi’ma my heart is breathing for this moment in time aching still., regardless i know your no longer in pain.

Leanna, whom I addressed as mom. Although she is my aunt and has two amazing daughters which am not one of her biologically daughter and still yet she treated me as one. Her love was spread around to everyone equally. That being said, it says a lot about who Leanne was. May The Creator keep her safe and at peace. I will always hold a special place in my heart for my mom, Leanne. I love you mom.
My aunties life was lived to the fullest. Goodbye wasn’t the hardest because I know god has set her free. Living without the random visits for Mexican cookies, cookouts, birthday parties & all her laughter & joy is the hardest.
I have a new guardian angel & I know she sees all my struggles & sorrows & I know she’s watching over me.
Forever & loved in my heart will my auntie Leanna be. <3
My dearest aunt Leanna,
I will always remember the name you’ve bestowed upon me, “Jame” for short.
I will always remember you dancing and smiling when you listened to country.
More so, I will always remember how you always stood ground for your family.
You have never failed us or anyone; you always called us ‘babe’ and told us you loved each one of us.
I will miss you auntie. I will miss seeing you in my living room when you came to visit.
Most importantly, I will always remember you.
The love you shared with everyone around you was greater than anyone I’ve seen show love.
You made a friend in any situation and we will miss that.
When the sun shines a beautiful hue of rainbow colors, I will remember the compassion you shared with us all.
When the sun sets and the moon rises, I will feel the calm, generosity, peace you comforted us with,.
When the wind blows, we will feel the love you gave each one us.
The rain will shower us with hope, inspiration and courage.
I will always remember…..
I love you auntie Leanna. <3 <3 <3
I miss you! It hurts so bad not to hear your voice on the other end,
“Deezhi” as you always say..
I smile, laugh and cry whenever I hear or see things that remind me of you!.
You are now pain free, with Mom, Dad, Lambert , Grandma , Cheii, and have met out Nalis. Watch over us and protect us, because now you are our heavenly Angels.
I love you Sister Leanna.
I am forever grateful to the people who helped us during the times we needed help. Your church family, they spoke so kindly of you.
To all who helped us, Thank you so much. May Heavenly father bless you back many times folded.
Wish I could be there with you – hold on to the happy memories, they will be evermore precious!
