I'm a Nurse at Conway Rehab who cared for her while she was there. I am so sorry for your loss. I prayed for her since I MET HER ,ALL through Christmas and the holiday I prayed. I hope you all were able to share that time together and hold those memories. WITH Christian love.
We are both saddened by the loss of Lea Anne. She was such a wonderful mother and wife to you all. I know she would always give me a hard time when I’d tell the kids some corny joke or silly song. Deep down she knew I was having as much fun as she was having when the kids would repeat it.
Our thoughts are with you as you try to move on from this bad moment and we hope only the good memories remain.
Trinity and Family,
So sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I know we question, WHY, but that is normal. I pray you can get through this and the love you all had and the memories will be there forever. Talk about her, keep her alive with those memories.

There are no words to express our sorrow for the family, but we are strong in our faith that Lea Ann is with our savior now and that in God's grace we will be with all be together again. Our love goes out to everyone and you are in our prayers
Everyone at UCA is saddened by this great loss. I am thankful to have worked with her in the MIS Department, where she was an outstanding colleague and teacher during my 15 years here. I am blessed to have watched her children grow up, as well as being friends with Trinity. Lea Anne was a true UCA Bear and I always enjoyed walking in with her at commencement exercises. It is the understatement of the century that she will be sorely missed. Prayers are with Trinity and the family.
My sweet friend- Oh how my heart aches for your sweet family. You have always been one of the most intelligent, full of life, loving individuals I've ever known. Your grace and elegance always inspired me to be better. A better mom, a better friend, a better person. I was thinking back on all the craziness we experienced growing up. Your motto was definitely "you only live once." You, my friend, lived life to the fullest. Thank you for all the sweet memories. You will be dearly missed. I am thankful you are whole and healed, but selfishly would have you back here with your family and friends. Trinity and family- please know I am praying for you in the days and weeks ahead. Please reach out if there is anything I can do.
Trinity and family,
Words cannot express our feelings and sorrow over your loss. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Trinity and Family,
We cannot express our sorrow that Lea Anne has passed. It would be foolish to try. Let us extend our love and our prayers for you all at this time of loss. We grieve with you now, but look forward with so much anticipation to that certain reunion we shall have with her in the clouds when we meet the Lord in the air.
May His loving arms support you through this,
Ann & Ed
What an amazing woman, mother, and friend! Lea Anne had such a love for life and was kind to all. I am so grateful she shared her precious children with me and allowed me to be a part of their early years. She loved her family. Lea Anne will be greatly missed here on earth, but thanks to Heavenly Father's perfect plan, we can see her again one day! May God bless and comfort you in this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers. With much Love, Teresa
We count it a great loss to our family. Heaven is a richer place where we will see her again.
So sorry to hear of the passing of your sweet, sweet daughter after losing my son I know the hurt you feel. My heart goes out to all of you . God will see you through thinking of you .
I am so very sorry for your loss. I know Chris, but I didn't know Lea Anne personally but as I watched her page I could tell she was a very special lady.
I am praying for each of you as.you go through this difficult time.

James and I send our deepest sympathies to the entire family. We are grieving with you and praying for you. We feel blessed to have known Lea Anne and this sweet family. We are thankful for the hope we all have in Jesus.
Praying for this beautiful family. Lea Anne was beautiful inside and out. It breaks my heart that she is no longer with her family but I know she is in a better place and is no longer suffering. She leaves behind a legacy that will not be forgotten. My favorite verse is 2 Corinthians 4:16-18.
I just want to express my sympathy to Finis and Janett family, to the Smith family, and all family and friends. I know how your heart is breaking. I just pray that God and time help to ease some of the pain. Losing a child is one of the hardest things to go thru. I send you my love and prayers! She was a special person. Love Deborah
My condolences to you and your family on the passing of Leanne. I will always remember her fondly and have wonderful memories of many times spent with her during our younger years at Church. She leaves behind a wonderful family. I know you all will be a great comfort and support to one another.
We are sorry for your loss; Lea Anne was a soccer coach to our grandson Samuel, such a loving Mom to her own children. Loving to ours on her team. Such a terrible loss, but Heaven gained another Angel. You are all in our thoughts and constant prayers.
Prayers for your family! The soccer fields will not be the same without you.
You're in our thoughts and prayers.
My sympathy is extended to all of the family. Lea Anne's mother and I knew each other many years ago when we were just children. Prayers are extended to all the family.
