Leah was beautiful and an amazing friend.....

She was always the life of the party and I love her! 

Leah was goofy and loved pictures! haha

She was my best friend... and I will never forget her! She was always there for me.... now she is watching over me..... I love you Leah! Rest In Peace baby!

This was Leah and I's  song.... she would turn it up so loud in my car that the you could hear either of us singing off key! :) 

Leah was the friendliest person ever! She was loving, caring and would never blow you off! She was always there to listen, to be a shoulder to cry on, to laugh with, sing with, dance with, or just be with! She was the life of any party, from the moment she came through the doors til she left, there wouldn't be one dull moment! Leah loved music.. but mostly country! She would sing her heart out.. as off key as she was! :) And she wore her little cowboy boots everywhere! 

There are so many memories I have of her and so many little things remind me of her. I had her bathing suit in the back seat of my car for the past two months.... and it will stay there.... probably til I get another car... but I was suppose to keep it there so we could run to the hot tube at anytime of night, just cuz! :) 

I could go on and on and on about her! But I'm going to end with this...

Leah, you were an amazing friend and I will never forget you! I love you and miss you so much it hurts! But I'm putting on a smile and going to remember all the fun times we had. 

R.I.P. Leah

MUAH!
