Our family would like to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers over the last several days. Knowing that our mother was so dearly loved by so many of her family and friends has helped all of us stay strong. She passed peacefully surrounded by the people she loved so much. We are all so very proud of the courage and strength that she embodied all throughout our lives, and thankful for all the guidance and wisdom she left to help us through this time. Leanne had a superhuman capacity for loving all the people and animals in her life, regardless of the time or distance between them. To put it simply, she was the most selfless person we have ever known. She was always there, always our sounding board, and would drop everything just to help any of us without a seconds thought. Cody and Courtney were blessed to grow up in a home where a mother and father have a deep love and respect for each other and who’s love will forever have no bounds. We thank all of you for thinking of us during this time, but know that she is still with us all, still holding us together, and forever helping us fight for the good and celebrate in the times ahead. She shall remain forever in our hearts.
