To my most precious Linda,
I just need to tell you how much of a void is in my life without you. I know you had no choice in leaving us and I also realize you are now in a much better place. Even with knowing that, it still doesn’t make it any easier accepting you not being here. It has been well over a month since you have left and by now I would have thought it would be easier to accept you not being with us. However that is not the case and my heart still aches for you as much as the day you left. I love you and miss you so very much. I know with continued time my mind will eventually accept the fact that you are no longer here however I know my heart won’t. My dear, you are truly the love of my life. I will love you forever my most precious lady. Hugs and kisses my dearest angel.

|To Leah's beloved family ~
It's with a heavy heart I just now read through Leah's obituary. She and I have not been in touch recently. Just this past week I came across her business card and made a mental note to contact her. I will hold her name in prayer in the weeks to come.
Leah and I organized a Women's Spiritual Retreat several years ago. She was such an amazing woman to work with, learn from and share stories...always thoughtful, always kind. Everyone who joined us for the retreat felt it was her spirit that lead us to desire more gentle lives, to be better at all we do in a kinder manner by the close of the retreat. That was truly her gift to us.
May all whose lives have been touched by the life of Leah McKenzie Simontal on this Earth, be blessed having known her.
Rest eternal grant to Leah McKenzie Simontal, O Lord: And let light perpetual shine upon her.
May her soul, and the souls of all the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen

Leah will be missed; she was a sweet, gentle soul. I still have flowers that were taken from her cuttings when she lived on Green Street. I think of her when they bloom every summer. 10 I always waited to hear from at Christmas when she placed her cookie order. She wanted to make sure that her kids got their special treat!

Sincere-Kind-Caring-Soft-Spoken- Gentle. These words come to me when I think of Leah. I learned so so much from her in the short 2 almost 3 years that I have known her. I will truly miss her.
