Chuck, Greg, Cindy-Lee Rogers and Shawn, I was so sorry to learn of Leona's passing. She was such a fun and vibrant person, and I have lots of great memories. The most recent was her surprise visit to join us in celebrating my mother's birthday. That meant so much to Mom and likewise to the rest of the family. Undoubtedly this is a huge loss for each and all of you, and we send our deepest sympathies. I am sure you will cherish many wonderful memories and celebrate all that she was to you and so many others that she touched in a very positive way. Wayne & Joan Myles
Charlie....so sorry to hear of your loss...I have fond memories of Leona....she will sail the heavens for eternity...Love, Heather
Sorry to hear of Leona's passing my condolences and thoughts are with the family. I have a lot of memories of fond Leona when we worked together at Scotia Bank at K-Mart Plaza back in the mid 1970's.
To all of you, we are sending our heartfelt sympathies. May you all have wonderful memories to turn to for comfort - friends and family to turn to for support- and hope and strength to help ease your sadness at this difficult time. Love always - Amy, Dot and Lily

Charlie et al, I am terribly saddened to hear of the passing of Leona. I am sure she was welcomed above by friends and family. I know my brother Archie would had a hug and kiss ready. My fondest memories are of her chasing me looking for a kiss...i was obviously too young to know how lucky i was!!!! I also recall a little dirt bike and a tree incident....she wasn't much of a rider!!! My love and thoughts are with you all. Hutson
We are so saddened to hear the news of Leona, she was truly a beautiful person, a one of a kind for sure....so many fun memories we have to hold in our hearts forever..Our Deepest Condolences to you all.
Dear Chuck and your family: It is hard for us to find words that might bring you comfort at this sad time, but perhaps just knowing that we are thinking of you with sympathy and understanding will somehow help to give you strength at this difficult time. We have many happy memories of time spent with you and Leona in Hamilton and then in Riveria Beach, Florida., and your surprise visit to Cornwall on the "John F. Livingston" . I will always remember Leona's wonderful smile. With our deepest sympathy Becky and Orval Brownell
Dear Charlie, CindyLee Greg and Family I was saddened to hear of the passing of Leona. She was an amazing woman and will be sadly missed by the many people whose heart she touched over the years. Your family and mine go back many years and I have many fond memories of all the times we spent together growing up. My funniest and most recent memory of Leona is when she came to my mother's (Barb) 75th birthday party and surprised her..but the funny part was when she pushed mom's face into her cake as she was blowing out candles. She blamed me!! Truthfully, I did give her a bit of a hand. Remember all the good times, the fun and happy times. Lean on each other and take comfort in knowing she is in a peaceful place. Celebrate her life as you mourn her passing. Always in our hearts Carol
Dear Cindy-Lee and family, our thoughts are with you and we hope warm memories comfort you and bring you peace during this difficult time.
Cindy Lee & Perry, You and your family are in our thoughts. May the force be with you. Love, Don & Mary Ann
Dear Cindy-Lee and Family, Our heartfelt condolences go out to you and all your family.We did not know your mother, but we are very sure that she was just as great a lady as you are and that you will dwell on memories of your mother forever. Sincerely Gabriela and Optimist Dieter Klett.
