To all of the Leazier Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of a great lady. I do have several memories when I was younger hanging out at their farm with Angie, Cory and Stephanie. I look back at those days and I think to myself it does not seem like every time I seen her she never changed a bit. It was always great for her and I to bring back the good ole days growing up. You could always tell she loved her BOYS more than anything in the world. I am sorry I was unable to attend. I was out of town. But my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I will never forget how great of a lady she really was.
