Leonora was a very sweet, strong willed lady who loved her family completely and unconditionally, as do they love her. They are all very lucky to have each other and it was a breath of fresh air to witness it. She was a bright light who is missed by many. May all the dear memories of Leonora help her family and friends get through this sad time.
In all the years that I knew Leonora she was a very strong willed woman, I really admired her for that. She also loved and was very proud of her sons. When she talked of them she would beam. I remember once when she use to go to the park to feed the ducks, it was raining and she had on her hat, with a bag of bread pieces in her hand, pushing her walker on her way to feed the ducks and I questioned if it was a good idea to walk to the park in the rain and she replied, "It's only water and the ducks need me to come and feed them" The look of determination said it all, and yes she went and fed the ducks. I will miss her very much. Thank you for sharing Leonora.
