Our sincere condolences on the loss of your Mom. We have so many good memories of time spent with your family. May your memories guide you through this sad time.
Kim & Dennis Burt
Our condolences go out to the entire Leitch family, but especially to Donna & Randy. It is never easy when you lose one family member but when you lose both parent’s within a year can be very overwhelming. What also makes this loss very difficult, it is much worse, especially under our current medical crisis. Funerals do not operate like normal. Our hearts, our prayers and compassionate thoughts will be with you both during this unfortunate loss of life. We both hope that Donna/Randy along with all family members stay healthy, positive and safe from this current pandemic.
God Bless you all
