Dear Ones ;
sorry to hear of Leada’s passing .Her uncle Martin’s family always looked forward to her visits.. She loved (and was loved) by all. She was an inspiration and reflected God’s love to one and all …
Aunt Leada was a true gift and we are better for knowing her. Jan, your Mom was so very wonderful and we are so sad for you all and send our thoughts and sympathies to you and your family during this time. We think and speak of Aunt Leada often and remember her energy and joy for life. She still brings a smile to our faces whenever we think of her. During her trips to Texas, she shared many stories about you all and through those stories we knew she had the best family and life was good. And, from her stories about you all, we knew she loved you all dearly. We will send you a photo of her with the McElhinney clan taken on her last trip to Texas. She was so beautiful. We miss her. Love to you all and take care.
