Dear Kenneth, Scott, Larry and Nancy, My sister just called to let me know about Leta. We are so sorry to hear of your loss. So many memories came flooding back when I heard. I often think of the good times we had with all of the children growing up and living so close together. Not many days went by that Leta and I didn't share a cup of coffee or at least talk to each other. You kids couldn't get away with much that we didn't know about. She was such a joy to be around. I pray that God grant you the strength you will need as you face your grief in the coming months. Love, Martha and Arlon

Nan, my heart broke when I heard the news but then I giggled because my thoughts went straight to... how many prayers Ms. Leta has prayed on our behalf and you know how persistent she can be; now that she has Jesus, one on one, I am certain she is bending his ear on behalf of her family and friends...because that is the Leta I know and love.
My prayers are with you and your family...love you,

So sorry to hear about Leta's passing. She will be missed by many, as she always cared so much for all, especially her children. Your family has always been so close to ours (like cousins), as she was like an aunt to us Culver kids. I'll always remember the family trips to visit in Texas "Hook Um Horn's". And I'll never forget how she was always making clothes, quilts or special outfits for everyone's kids.
Sorry we cannot be there,
Our sympathy and Love,
Vernon, Jackie, Sierra Culver

Kenneth and family:

I just learned of Leta passing and want you all to know how special a friend she was to me. We were supposed to have lunch next week when I got back to the US. She was such a wonderful person and was always talking about the grand kids. She was so proud of all of you. Sorry I will miss her services but she knows I'm there in spirit. I will miss her much. God will help you all through this. Love to you all.

Nancy and family: I too was blessed by your mothers friendship. I worked with her when she was with the court system and I was with the Sheriff's Department. Then when my daughter had twins, Jagger and Addison, she was always there for me and my family when Addison was so very ill.

She always sent a message to me and our family telling me that Faith and Paige sent their love and prayers for "little Addie"!

Leta helped me through many sad times and shared with me in the good times. She was always there if I needed her.

I will always remember her. I will keep you and your family in our prayers. I know Leta is watching down on all of you with smiles and love from her heart.

I was deeply sadden to hear of the loss of Mrs Leta. I met her & Mr. Kenneth many years ago. Was blessed to also know her parents. Mrs Leta took me in like one of her own. She made my son Vance's baby bedding 4 yrs ago and loved calling to check on us. We would chat about the grand kids and how they are growing so fast. She was very Proud. I was so Blessed and Honored to call Mrs Leta a dear friend/family. Prayers for all of her family & friends. I know she is in Heaven with Beautiful wings. Love Lynne
