We're thinking of you, David, Angie & Josh, during this difficult time.
We will really miss Leona. She was such a good person. I treasure the beautiful baby blankets she made for Ava, Leo, and Elise and how she & Angie visited us in the hospital with each baby's arrival. That meant a lot to John & I. She loved you all so much, and was such a good mother-protective, loyal, loving, & kind. May your memories of her give you comfort.
John and Misty Fosselman

I was very sad to read of Leona's passing. I was Josh's resource teacher at Lincoln. I still have and treasure some of the needlepoint and cross stitch gifts she gave me. I particularly treasure a counted cross stitch bookmark she made for me that "Graded" me on certain qualities. I got "A's" on everything except patience - I earned a "B+" on that one. She was one parent I always looked forward to visiting with. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
