I'm sorry to have lost contact with Leah. She was a dear friend in high school, until I moved away in my senior year. I remember many sleepovers at her house & we played the most fun card game. From her memorial, she & I lived very close in the Everett area for many years. I'm please to see that she went on to a great teaching career. She obviously must have been very good at that. I look forward to a heavenly reunion one fine day!
