I am profoundly sadden by the loss of your daughter and sister. I’m sure there will always be an empty place in all your hearts, from this day forward. Although I know it is of little comfort, please know I share in your sorrow and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Leshia was a very sweet person and always kind to those she knew. I had the honor of knowing her in high school. She will be greatly missed. My prayers to her family and friends.
