  21. Dear Wayne, Paul, Colleen, Jennifer:
    I was given the opportunity and privilege of working with Leona many years ago, I learned so much from one of the best. Leona shared with all of us how to provide care with respect, compassion, dignity and love. Leona was so calm, caring and real. She lit up a room with her smile and brought calm to the sick with her professional manner. Leona was so gentle,a true gem to the health care team. Of course her carrier came second to her family where I know she was an incredible wife, sister,mom and sister in law too.

    My deepest sympathy to your entire family

    Karen O’Hearn

  22. Dear Wayne and family I wish there were stronger words then I’m so sorry for your loss as these don’t seem to be strong enough for how much Leona will be missed not just by her family but everyone who knew her.
