From the Grand Canyon snow to parasailing in the Caribbean, swimming with dolphins in the Atlantic, golfing in Florida, regulars at St Louis Cardinals games, they did it all with love, laughter and fun. Leigh was very high spirited with an outgoing personality and a love of life. She was blessed with so many friends throughout various stages of her life who remained close.
