Leah and I grew up together and had many great times in jr high and high school at slumber and birthday parties, going to the movies, etc.

We had lost touch, but Facebook brought us back together.  She and I spoke almost daily on FB.  I knew she was ill but did not realize that she had taken a turn for the worse until I found out she had passed away.

Only a week before another mutual friend Sharron Heath Henson (daughter of Mrs. Heath from TJR) passed away.  Leah was very upset and texted me about it.  They had grown very close with shared memories of Leah's deceased sister Scooter.

The last text I got from Leah was that she would let me know when she knew more details about Sharron.  And then she was gone too.

I can still hear her infectious giggle from the old days.
