I worked with her for a brief 2 years, with Leila as my supervisor. I spent countless hours in the car with her as we drove to job sites all around NE Florida and dug auger holes for wetland delineation and septic system evaluations. One of my favorite memories with her was when we had a septic evaluation on a secluded ocean front lot and we decided guys always took their shirts off so we could too with our sport bras since it was HOT!! We proceeded to take the longest time ever to dig two auger holes and enjoyed our surroundings. I have so many more memorable moments from my brief time with her. I was just out of college and was a very impactful time in my life. Fast forward 13 years and I had a daughter in October 2020 and she is named after Leila. I know if I had my Leila earlier I wouldn't have been able to give her the namesake because it would have been too painful but now it brings me immense joy now to be able to say her name and not cry every time! I hope that she is 1% as amazing as big Leila (which no one ever has said about her)!Heather Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394224170520694819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28792519.post-79084207500806007192021-10-26T23:50:55.714-05:002021-10-26T23:50:55.714-05:00My name is Denice I went to Highschool

To suspend the night at our house sometimes for weeks at a time. She was very much a sister to me. We lost touch for a few years. I planned to surprise her and come to her baby shower. I was devastated to hear that that the sister I chose Left this earth but she's forever in my heart. You spend any of nights clubbing in Tampa.. staying up late listening to music . I carry her in my heart.hausofdmehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09988699281533922506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28792519.post-67952275378307615352019-03-06T16:34:07.750-05:002019-03-06T16:34:07.750-05:00She was my best friend for years - one of the MOST...She was my best friend for years - one of the MOST AMAZING people I have ever met in my life.<br />I met her when I was 14 in high school and she was my first college roommate. She is thought of often by both me and my family. She did everything well - anything she set her mind to! She is surely and sorely missed!

She was selfless and caring.

I've taken the liberty of adding your blog to her notes in my family tree.

She was a good friend in high school my junior and senior year when I didn't have many friends. Another former classmate told me last week that Leila had passed away, but they didn't know any details. We had lost touch after graduation, but I think of her often - she helped me realize that I didn't need to care what anyone else thought, just be myself. Her loss is the world's loss as she certainly made her little corner a better place.<BR/>-Heather (Henderson) TheriaultAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28792519.post-42803710140745963572007-08-08T15:14:00.000-05:002007-08-08T15:14:00.000-05:00Thank you for that post.
