Send flowers for Dora Jane Leach

To the Leach, and other family members, I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Dora Jane Leach. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy. I pray that you will look to the hills for your help, for all of your help comes from God.

Mother Geraldine Amos

Patrica and the rest of the family, I would like to offer my condolences to you all. I know that your heart is heavy and you are in pain. When you think of all the memories that you all had together, it should put a smile on your face and temporarilyreplace the pain. She will always be with you because of the memories. She is only gone physically but her sould and spirit will remain with you forever. Whenever you feel sad, lonley or down, just reach back and grab a memory, it will put a smile in your heart. Don't let the circle be unbroken. Keep the link of family together and make them stronger than ever. God let you have her all these years, now its it's time to have her and love her. May God continue to Bless you and the family.

Andrew (Shug) Carnes

Dora. That's what I called her, never auntie, Moma Dora or Aunt Dora. Just plain Dora which matched her quiet and beautiful soul. Her love was not loud or flashy, instead it was constant and steady. She showed her family love in a quiet low simmering type of way. What an honor it was to have her as my aunt.

There were many times just me and her would sit around her kitchen table. (Sometimes eating mixed nuts from a giant jar she'd bought at Sam's club) We would share funny stories and memories of family members from long ago. She has now gained her wings and was blessed to fly home to be with God. Her time with us here on earth is over. However, she leaves behind with us her love and sweet memories of her to remain in our hearts forever.

Prayers to the children and family.

Much love,

Peaches
