Some years back Leona visited our nature habitat near North Vernon with the Ochs Bird Club. She was the only person ever to spot a ring-neck pheasant here and we have been here 30 years.
She was a sweet lady.

Barb I know this is a rough time for you and Kelle, no one can ever say that you wasn’t there for your Mom and I’m sure she knew that to the end. If you ever need to talk I’m here for you. Take care Barb

Barb, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your dear Mother. What a sweet, caring and wise women she was and her precious smile and spirit was always so encouraging to others. We now live in Texas or I would have been at her service, I’m sure it was beautiful. Keeping you in my heart and prayers.
Blessings, Debbie
