Dear Family and Friends:

It is with a heavy and broken heart that I send you this letter. Leona slept away about 2:30 P.M. June 30, 1993 at The Palms Healthcare Center. Her family was with her.

Although her health began to fail in early May, a fast growing cancer of her Lymphatic System was not diagnosed until her exploratory surgery June 2nd. After the surgery, the goal was to help her health improve sufficiently to receive chemotherapy. She died the afternoon the treatment was to have begun.

Two Memorial Services were held. The first was at our church here, the Sebring Church of the Brethren, July 3rd with Pastor Kurt Borgmann Officiating. The second was at her childhood church, the Bethel Church of the Brethren, at Broadway, Virginia with a long time family friend Rev. Wendell Flory officiating. Interment was in the Bethel Church Cemetery.

A great lady, who was my wife and friend, has gone to her reward. Her life was dedicated to the work of the church and the cause of peace. Her years of teaching youth how to find their way in life, her three trips to Russia to witness for peace when it was thought by many to be unpatriotic and her year as Director of the World Friendship Center at Hiroshima, Japan is remembered by many.

To all who have sent words of sympathy and gifts to her Memorial Fund I send deep gratitude from all her family.

In loving memory,

John

P.S. Some have inquired regarding the Memorial Fund in Leona's memory. Her last major project was serving as Financial Secretary of The Palms Foundation which is dedicated to helping Older Adults who have financial need. Gifts can be sent to The Palms Foundation Endowment Fund, 204 S. Commerce Avenue, Suite #1, Sebring, Fl. 33870.
