Leah Mae Allard:
If ever there was a woman who would be missed by her family and friends it Leah Allard (to me another mother, called her Mom for over 50 year). Her warmth, humor (remember her anouncement when you were doing her hair Linette!)and overall love for her family, made memories to cherish.
I will miss you Mom and never forget your kindness to me. Thank you so much for allowing me a place in your life.
May you forever rest in the arms of our Lord. A rest so well deserved.
Linda
