I always admired, you, Leeann, for being so pretty and having such a wonderful personality. I was so impressed that you were such a fantastic tennis and soft ball player! Neither of which I had any talent. I know that there will be a BIG void in Terry and Ryan's life. The happy memories are as many as the stars in the sky. I was SO very happy that I got to spend some precious time with you in May. It had been many years since I had gotten to see you in Wyoming and Utah! I will cherish those memories. May you rest in peace, pain & stress free. Terry and Ryan, cherish the special attributes, only your Leeann/mom had. They are the special memories to you and will help be your strength as you continue along your journey until you meet her again. Ask her for help when the "going gets tough". Tears are ok! Remember how much she loved you! My prayers are with you! and for her! Love, Marti
