Dear Girls:
Can't think of Leota without remembering her care of her diabetic cat. We should have been as lucky! Having gone to Quincy College, we shared memories of that lovely town. Those days at Braeburn seem long ago, but Leota will be remembered well.

Dear Terri and Gay,
When Leota moved to be near you, we really missed her, but knew it was good for her to be near her loving daughters. I got to perhaps know her best in our small book club. She had such good Spirit and was fun to be with. I know you will miss her so much. She passed from your loving hands to her loving God.
May God be with you at this time of loss,
Pauletta Kay
I loved viewing the pictures!
