No words can express how I feel at this moment. she was my "Joan Collins" and she always got a big kick out of that. There wasnt a Sunday that she didnt say to me "Wow do you look sharp this morning!!" as she handed me the bag of candy in the car on our way to church. And I always got a kick out of how she picked on "Frankie" as he was driving. For the short time I was in Columbus we spent some memorable days together...you will never be forgotten....my "joan Collins" and dear friend. A big hug and kiss. all my love, Felicia

Frank,

Myself and Joe were so sad to hear of the passing of Leona. I loved to hear her tell the story of how you both met, and how handsome you were to her!!! Gabby's on Thursday's will not be the same.

If you need anything just let us know.

Frank and Family,
We were so shocked and sad to read of Leona's passing. Have not seen any of you for so long, but in some ways it seems like just yesterday we lived across the street from you! Remember when Leona would come over to talk, as we sat on the front swing together. How time goes by much too quickly!Every time we go by the old "Stans" restaurant site I would think of you two! Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. May Leona rest in peace and have her reward in heaven now!She was a lovely lady and a wonderful neighbor!
