Sorry for your loss Nathan and LeAnn. She was a sweet lady and loved her family. Peace to you.
She was one of the sweetest and most loving women I know. She loved her family very much. I am so sorry for your loss.
Shawn and I went to high school together and we had lots of giggles and fun times. I’m close friends with her Aunt Karen and so we’ve seen each other through the years with family events and high school reunions. The world has lost a kind person. Rest in Peace.
