I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Kathryn. I will always remember her and Uncle Garland coming to visit at grandmas house. She was always smiling and laughing. In later years, she would call and see how grandma was doing. I'm sure that she's in heaven now with grandma telling a story and making her laugh!! Thinkng of you all. Rachel Elliott and family

What I tremendous blessing in my life to have known Mrs. Leatherman, she was a true light in the life of every person she touched in this world. Although my heart is greatly saddened at the news of her passing, I know she has gone home to be with the Lord and her husband. She will be missed so very much but she leaves a remarkable legacy through her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I was honored to have known such a wonderful woman.

I meet Mrs. Leatherman twice in the Ramos family events and I remember her as a kind and loving woman. This quote goes out to all her family and friends, \"Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,but love leaves a memory that no one can steal.\" I know all her family and friend will cherish all the wonderful memories they shared with Mrs. Leatherman. May she Rest in Peace.

Words can not express our sadness to know Mrs. Leatherman has passed away.
The Leatherman’s have played such a role with the Ramos family for many years she will be truly missed.
She has so many arms in heaven to give her a warm welcome.
Many prayers from Dennis and Laura
Other wise known as Mrs. Leatherman would call me Dennis’s mom.
