Dear Jim and Family. My heartfelt wishes to you for peace during this difficult time. I first met Leona when she was Reeve of Grey Township. We sometime disagreed, but we always had great conversations. I was honored when she asked me to speak about Library Services to the WI. I often found myself helping Leona set up for Women's Institute or Horticultural Society meetings in the Community Room at the new Library. She was a kind, friendly and sincere person, always trying to be of service to the Community. We will all miss her.

So very sorry to hear about the loss of Leona. I had the privilege of working for Leona at the Grey Township office. What a great example for all women! Leona always had a kind encouraging word to offer. My mother used to volunteer to stuff tax bills at the Township. I remember how honoured my Mom felt when Leona thanked her for her services in front of many others at a seniors luncheon. Leona always had the time to stop and ask how you and your family were. You will be missed by so many Leona. Thank you for all you did for the Brussels-Grey community and my deepest condolences to Jim and the rest of the family.

Dear Jim & Leanne and family.
We have so many fond memories of Leona - so many. My favourite is the Christmas Shortbread Leona delivered each Christmas to our office - made with the mixer that Doris (McCall) gave her so many years ago! So many memories of Leona at Doris's for meetings, quilting, lunches and more. It really is the 'changing of the guard'. We know how much Leona was loved and how much she will be missed. Sincerely, Ross & Fran McCall

Jim, Robert, Brian , Bruce, Leanne and extended families.
It is with heartfelt sympathy that we learn of the passing of your beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, Leona.
Leona was a pillar of strength in the Brussels and Huron East community as evidenced by her multitude of contributions to Council, the Brussels Horticultural Society and Agricultural Society and the Church as well as almost any major event in Brussels for many, many years. Whenever there was a call for major volunteer help for any large scale Brussels celebration or event Leona always answered the bell. She was there for the community.
She was a loving, caring role model parent to her children and grandchildren..
Her legacy speaks for herself. Leona will never be forgotten.

To Jim and all your family,
It is such a sadness that we are all hearing of Leona's passing. She was not only a great member of the community but all over the country, she will greatly missed. I hope that each of us can try to be even a little like Leona was and do even a portion of what she was involved in. It certainly was a privilege to have known her and worked in many ways with the groups we belonged in. I don't think anyone can keep up to her decorations at anything she attended and was responsible for putting on a meeting.
Her smiling face and enthusiasm will be longed remembered to all who knew her.
Our deepest of sympathy and prayers go out to you and your family at this sad time.
Kathy and Jim Bridge
