Leah thanks everyone for the food, flowers, prayers, and support she has received. She continues to demonstrate incredible grace in this most difficult time of her life. Leah's pain is under control and the Hospice nurses visit daily to make any adjustments needed for her comfort. Within the past month, since Leah came home from the hospital, she enjoyed visiting with friends and family. Leah has now requested to have only family surrounding her. She rallied on Saturday to enjoy a special gathering of her cousins at her home. They watched a slide show of hundreds of pictures that captured everyday events and special moments throughout Leah's life with her cousins and other family members. Leah's husband Bryan, with the help of their friend Sherri spent hours collecting and organizing family pictures and courtesy of Linda Keith produced a slide show with music. During the gathering Bryan read a letter to Leah, sharing many of the sweet memories he has from the time they met eleven years ago, to their children, and the inexplicable journey dealing with cancer.
Today Leah was able to share her story by having it published in the Newport Daily News.
Even now, during her brief periods of wakefulness, Leah is focused on others, apologizing to her caretakers for inconveniences, remembering birthday gifts she has intended to give others and as only a mother could the needs of her children.
