Leah made such a positive impact on my daughter Gabby Barbieri. Always there for her when I wasn’t able to be. So grateful for her presence in my child life. She will always be special to me and certainly Gabby and Giorgi. My prayers for your family. Please ask if I can help in any way for my daughter Gabby. If London ever needs don’t hesitate.

Leah Mae I will always remember what a beautiful curly haired ball of fire full of life little girl you were and what a lovely young lady an amazing mother you turned into you made your family so proud I can’t believe we have to go on without you but I know you better please watching over beautiful little London and the rest of us I love you Leah Mae I will miss you and cherish all the memories we have together
Our hearts are just broken. Watching Leah go from a bump in her mother belly, to a beautiful baby girl, she grew into a beautiful independent woman. I got to experience the birth of her own daughter and help to care for them the first few days as a new mom. Over the years I would see Leah at her job and we would catch up. Her favorite was when I would surprise her and “tip the check” it always came with a note of encouragement and praise for all she was doing . She would always call and tell me how thankful she was and I did not need to do that. A bright light has been taken from us. We will carry her memories and love forward. London will always know who her mom was and the incredible sacrifice she made to give her a stable home.
