Love you Sis. We will miss you.
Ed, God bless you for everything you have done for LeAnn, you were her rock.
Al and I are so grateful for the short time we got to spend with the two of you last week. With all our love, please stay strong.
Ed, I am Leann’s cousin, the daughter of Joyce’s brother, Wayne. As children, we would get together most summers in Wolf Point when the Eakins family visited. Leann was always very nice and seemed so smart to those of us who were several years younger. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep you in my prayers.
We are so sorry for your family’s loss, we will be praying for you.

Leann will always be in our thoughts. She was a great mentor. Our prayers for her family.
She’ll always be remembered!
LeAnn and I spent many hours together, mostly outside, mostly riding horses. We went to the same country school and 4-H Club, then the same high school and rode the same bus. We were in different high school classes, so we kind of grew apart then, but later, I babysat for Brian for a short time. She was always a good friend, Mom, employee, and leader. God must have needed her help.
Ed
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time.
Love and Hugs
