To the family of Leitha, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Miss Leitha was truly one in a billion and the brightest light of any room. I'm so thankful for the time we got to share at Centre, and can say without a doubt (and im speaking for all students and staff) that Centre College will not be the same without her. She was very much loved and will forever be missed. She had the rare ability to bring a smile to everyone she crossed paths with, regardless of how bad their day had been, and all it took was one of her famous "hey baby" greetings. The joy and smiles she caused were contagious, and she shared her light with thousands at Centre alone. While she may be gone, her memory and the love she shared will always have a special place in all of our hearts.
