My sister Leigh was the most giving, loving person I have ever known. Of all our years together I have known that she has always been by my side, my twin. I forever will have a void until we meet again. I will think of her in the quiet of the day and hear her words. He love for God, her yearning and seeking him out gives me comfort that she is in peace and happiness with him.
Leigh you are finally at home here in Connecticut and finally at home with God.
I will miss you greatly and will not be whole until I am with you again.
Love you
Your twin sister
Lynne
I am grateful for the times we had together all those years ago. I remember sitting on the fence on the side of your parents house, being at the barn learning to ride, giving pony rides at the North Haven fair and dinner at your home every night. My twin cousins were always so awesomely nice. There was always a peace around both of you. I’m so sorry your apart now, my heart aches for that and for your families. I apologize I could not make the trip for Leighs services Im sure it will be beautiful and yes we will see her again one day.
With Love,
Renee
