I have only known Leah for a few months, since we moved into Roland Park Place. I found her to be a warm and wonderful person. I wish you could see all the loving messages about her on out internal communication. She will be missed. I had dinner with her the night before she passes. She was cheerful and full of plans to. visit her son in Amsterdam.
