Condolence from Jackie & Jim Rowe on March 12th, 2013 9:26 PM

Tony, Josh, Kyle and Niki,
Our deepest sympathy does not express the loss you must be feeling. Leni symbolized grace and elegance, kindness and joy. She was the smile that brightened a room with an energy that sparked any gathering into one of brilliance. Leni’s dignity – to the end, is a beacon of courage. We pray that some day the gratitude at loving Leni replaces the heavy loss. She spoke so highly and proudly of you saying you were her best assets; the most important part of her life. We know we are better for having her touch our lives. You are in our loving thoughts.
