“Leita, the matriarch of our neighborhood and the first to welcome our family with her bright smile and kind words. From pulling out or loose teeth and the many shared conversations over tea, just a few of the memories we will forever cherish. We will all miss you. May you be at peace. Love from the Hoban family”
