Leona was a beautiful soul, she spent a lot of evenings at my mom‘s apartment at Appledorn, her wit and love of family were something to be cherished! When my Dad passed in 2023 she was so amazed that we got his personalized Urn off of Amazon! She wanted one for herself, so I ordered her a beautiful nickel and light blue Urn for her, she was so excited to have it! (Mom’s name is Marilynn Brennan) So sorry for your loss, Brenda Monroe”
