Although I didn't know Leah, our daughters share the same name and were named after their great and great great grandmothers. A name says a thousand words about a person. I think of Leah everyday as I head into work at SFGH. What a beautiful child. She is missed everday and my thoughts are always with you.

Dear Quintana Family,

I have a lot of memories of Leah from Brownies and Sunday School. She was always laughing and never put her smile down. I miss all of her kindness and feel terrible about what happened.

Thank you, Lily O.

Dear Quintana's
That night we were going to basball together and you told me that Leah had a blog I went to check it out when I got home. Every time I see Leah's face it remineds me of when Andrew and I were at our soccer end of the season party and Leah was there. I had just finished a race car game when I spilled 7 UP all over my face and Leag laughed like crazy! I will always remember Leah's smile and laugh!
Andrew, if you ever have free time on the weekends call me a nd we can schedual somthing. See you at school!

Your friend,
Nick Peterson
