My condolences to your family during this time. May the words at Revelation 21:3, 4 be of comfort to you where it says, God will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more. These former things will have passed away.” Please accept my sympathy during this time.
Grandma made it undeniably apparent, to the wisest of the family, that title and respect are not simply a birth right, but most certainly must be earned. And, that words are absent of meaning, without action to back them up.
Thank you Grandma for this life altering knowledge.
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS ,PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU
MANY MEMORIES OF TROUT AIR
I have known the Preiner family sense I was five. So 46 years. I only knew Leona for the last 15 or so. I has lucky to know her. I got to know her better when I gave her her pedicures every 4 weeks. So never miss! All the family stories she would tell. About the restaurant days. Raising all the kids! Hardworking lady and family. Mary and Pat you are angles taking such good care of your mom for all toughs years. So was a very strong women. I learned many life lessons from her in our time together. Bless her heart and the the family this week and the weeks to come. I will miss her!
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your Dear Mother and Grandmother. We have all lost a very strong link to our past. Aunt Leona will always be remembered for her laughs, strong opinions, caring words, and most importantly, her hugs. I will miss her dearly.
May God Bless You, Aunt Leona, with heavenly joy!
Sorry for your loss. May the memories and love that you share give you comfort. We are with you in thought and prayer.
My Dearest Grandmother,
The dishes are done, and the floor is clean.
“What do I have to do now?”…
Time to rest Grandma, time to rest.
The dishes are done and the floor is clean.
Jessie, Pat, Mary and Tanny. Our family is thinking of your family at this time of loss. She can now rest in peace.
Blessings to Aunt Leona and her family-as she now rests peacefully. I remember her taking time to have a chat with a cup of coffee in her kitchen. Good conversation and never shy with an opinion! Lastly, it is with a smile that I remember her fondness for (mom’s) “Phyllis’s White Divinity Candy”. God Bless!
The thing I take with me every day that I learned from Mrs. Preiner “remember, be kind.” To the Preiner family. Your mother was a wonderful and amazing person. She was a great treasure to know. Thank you for sharing her with me.
My Dear Aunt Leona was a great lady who always had the warmest of greetings for me when I would visit with her. She would ask about my family and inquired how everybody was doing, being careful not to forget a single sibling. I will miss her hearty laugh, and loving hugs. God Bless Aunt Leona and may she rest in peace.
Aunt Leona, a Legendary family matriarch with caring in every word she spoke to me! My family condolences and praise in her long life. May God bless and keep her.
