I was so sorry to hear about Leigh. I hadn't seen her in a few years, but I will never forget adventures at Electra Lake and our infamous Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs for Halloween our senior year at Durango High School. Leigh's skill with safety pins saved me from a wardrobe malfunction of epic proportions!

I will hold you all in my prayers.

Her warmth that was offered to all
Last but not least, she was my friend
