Bryan Pope lit a candle

“I spent a lot of time with Leigh over the years. She has always been one of the very best people I know, good character, loads of positive energy, enthusiasm, and good will. She was always so much fun to be around. But more importantly, she was a binding and bonding force between people. She had a very good heart, and at the same time should could navigate life - making tough choices and saying what needs to be said. She made a profound impact on my life and everyone I know around her.”
