My heart is with the family today. Praying for peace to everyone. Im so blessed to have met Peno and for her to accept me and Mikey as part of the family. She was such a beautiful woman, inside and out. The family has lost such a great person, but gained such a beautiful angel to watch over them. Love to you all!

I'm sorry to learn of Leona's passing. I have many, many fine memories of Leona. Before we had cars & drivers licenses she drove us all over for different functions throughout junior high. I haven't made it down to AZ for a few years but always enjoyed talking to her on the phone. She will be missed very much.
