Today is the anniversary of Lea's death. Even though years have passed, I still miss her so much. You're in my heart big sis and I love you

Hey Lea,

I was just reminiscing the other day with some old friends from and I came to talking about a girl I once knew. A girl who’s smile could warm the saddest heart. A girl whom I once loved, and whom I would have wanted to be friends with through until old age. But life makes its own plans doesn't it? I remember how we had lunch together 2 weeks before that faithful day. I remember how you had tried to pay, and I had taken one of your R20 and torn it in half. I kept one half, and gave the other back to you, and said that the next time we could split the bill. I still have that half R20 note - I keep it in my wallet as a reminder of that wonderful woman that I once knew. Lea, even though life has moved on, if there’s one person from my past that I miss... it’s you. You were a true friend and I will never forget you.

I pray that you are now with God, because while I knew you, you sure seemed like one of His angels to me.

Leanna...I hadn't seen in you years - not since school days...but I will never forget you for your smile, spontaneity, positive outlook and amazing growth. You were an amazing and inspirational person - and I am a better person in some small way for having known you, even for such a brief time, all those years ago. And I wouldn't have survived art without you! I love you girl!

My dearest Angel,
You would have turned 22 today but you are not around anymore to say happy birthday in person. I miss you so much. You are allways in my mind and heart.
Love
Dad

My dearest Angel,
It has been just over 4 months ago since your tragic accident. I still think of you and miss you every minute of every day.
Lots of love
Dad

This site shows pictures of a very happy and beautiful girl/young woman. It is very sad that she is no longer among her family and friends but I am sure that she will not be forgotten!

Voor alle mensen die Leanne hebben gekend.
We wensen jullie allemaal heel veel sterkte met het verwerken van het verlies van jullie lieve Leanne. Wij kennen Joop en we weten hoe trots Joop op zijn dochter is, en als we naar al die mooie foto's kijken begrijpen we dat !
Nogmaals sterkte.

Lea...
You are my angel, always have been, and alwyas will be. Thank you for the times we spent together, the laughs, the crazy leopard crawling, the wacky dress up days and all the love and care in the world that you could have given to me. The last three years have been the best three years cos i got given an angel as a friend, i got given you. You have taught me in 3 years more about Love, Pain and Forgiveness then i have ever learnt in my 21years of living. So thank you, thank you for always being the angel you are. And thank you for choosing me as your friend.

To the girl I loved, and whom I know loved me, the person whom I will miss, cherish and always keep close to my heart, I am looking forward to seeing you again one day in Heaven, I miss our time together, laughing, studying, just having fun.

I miss you, my Angel, best friend, soul mate, will always love you.

we were all sorry to see Lea go but, she's with us and she will always be with us we all love u lots and lots like jelly-tots,Lea Megs

My darling angel I miss you so much that my heart is shattered - I dont know if I will ever be able to "live" again. You wwere so much to me - my daughter and my bet friend. Life is so hard to "carry on" with without you.
I love you more than anything (you know that), I would have done anything to have prevented this happening to you (you know that too)and I just dont know how I am supposed to go on with "life as normal" without you.
I miss your smile, your laugh, you special mommy hugs and all that we shared together.
Your sister is so distraught that she cries for you in her sleep...you were everything to us and we miss you and think of you every second of every day.
Your loving mother Mandy and sister Megs

Joop, what an excellent idea! Our memories of Lea are strong - and what a better way to preserve and cherish them.

Lea, my angel, I know you are happy, and that keeps me smiling everyday. I also know that in some form you are still part of our lives and can see/hear/sense everything we do.

You are my sister, my best friend, I love you.

Although I didn't know Leanna all that well, I know enough to say she was a great person and will undoubtedly be missed by all.

My deepest condolences are with you right now.
