My thoughts and prayers are with you all! So many memories of Leone! She will be missed by all!
We knew Leone for many years, she truly was a good friend. She helped kindle the horse love that our daughter has and the two of them spent many hours together. Leone was the kind of person that didn’t need to be asked for help she would readily offer it and without expecting a payback. She truly enjoyed her family and spending time with them and also her good friend and long time companion Dale. Our sympathies we offer to the family and also to Dale, May God guide you in the days ahead. We will always have our memories of her and for that we are grateful. Judy and Jack Adams

thank you
my mom was truely a living saint. I can even count how many times she rescuef an animal most wood have left for dead. my mom never gave up on any animal if they were sick or abandoned, she wouldtake them in and nurse them back to health. ill never forget the baby deer, or the baby lambs walking around our house in diapers jumping into her arms and laying there sweet iinnocent heads on her shoulders. mom even though a very small lady had the largest heart and compassion for all walks of life especially animals. she had the ability to communicate with animals and a healing power of superhero. I think the loss of her hearing may have affected hef ability to communicate with people but some how allowed her to be must more in tune with peoples emotions. she had a deeper form of communication its called empathy and compassion for a walks of life. that is what she was a master at. you see I never had to say wordz to communicate to my mom shecould take one look at me and know something was wrong. she was in tune to emotions and could read me like book. she knew my next move before I took it. in so blessed to have been raised with a mom so intouch with my inner self. mom spelled upside down wow! thats my mom my super hero. she amazed me threw good times and bad she never gave up when others would have. at 5 foot tall 100lbs soakin wet shes the strongest person ill ever know. she will go with nothing to give to those she loves with no questions and no expectations. the gradification of helping those in need was enough for her. wow thats my mom. love yohsee ya on the other side
