I am sorry for your loss. My mom Mary Lee-Linnerud, tried to keep up with the family over the years. I'm knowing they are all up in Heaven looking down on us. Peace to you all.

I met Leona 22 years ago when Kathy and I worked together. I enjoyed many conversations with her at Kathy and Ben's for her Grandkids birthdays. She was blessed to have a loving and attentive daughter and she told me so on many occasions. I'm so happy she is at peace as she put up a courageous fight and deserves to be pain free. May her family know that she loved them all. Blessings to you Leona. Mike and I were happy to have known you.

...I am so grateful to have known Leona and to have understood the values of faith and family that she has provided by her day-to-day examples.

Thank you for being my mother's dearest friend for over 60 years and for being the role model for family values that you were to me in my life. I will never forget and will always cherish those childhood memories of you and your wonderful family...
