My Heartfelt sympathies to Susie, Pete and Family. Your Mom was such a beautiful soul and I will always remember her smile. Just a funny story that I discovered in later years. Mrs. Leistikow was my Girl scout Leader and took us on many overnight camping trips. I think our goal each trip was at some point to sneak out after lights out and explore the area. I don’t think we ever ventured too far for fear of the things that go bump in the night. Not that long ago when we were having lunch and telling Girl Scout stories, Mrs. Leistikow said she KNEW all along what we were up to and kept a keen eye from a safe distance to make sure we didn’t go too far!! I had to laugh.. she was a very wise woman to allow us our freedom to stretch our wings a bit..but still making sure we were safe. I do regret that we didn’t get to have one more lunch together with her and Susie, but that is how it always goes, wishing you just had one more day. I hope memories keep her close to your heart. The whole Lehman Family will miss her greatly!

Prayers to all the family. My favorite Aunt will truly be missed. I will never forget meeting in Las Vegas and going through the Liberace museum with her. Such a special memory I have and glad I got to visit with her last year.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
