So sorry to read about the loss of Leigh, I would like to share some comforting scriptures from God’s own book the Bible.
Rev 214,5 tells us of the time when death will be down away with and John 5:28,29 tells us of the time ones like Leigh will be brought back to life. I hope you can find some comfort in reading this text and knowing one day all things will be made new.

Meagan and Shana, not sure if you would remember me because you two were little but I met your mom when she was married to your dad. Your dad and my ex-husband John Bennett worked together for years. We lived on Sooner Road out at Southgate for awhile. Anyway, I pray that GOD gives you girls peace, and comfort knowing that she is pain-free and resting in her Heavenly Father’s Kingdom. GOD bless you girls and your family.
Love ya,
