Condolences & Memories (3 entries)

  • Rob, Alex and families, We were saddened to hear of the passing of Leigh. I met Leigh at age 8. We attended Linden Lanes and were good friends. We were on the basketball and volleyball teams, and spent our winter evenings skating at Westridge Community Center. The YMCA was a big part of our lives; attending swimming and gymnastics. We had a lot of fun attending many birthday parties, and sleep overs with the girls in the neighbourhood. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. - Posted by: Jolene Patterson (friend) on: Dec 04, 2020
