One of Leanne's passions was being behind the camera. She was an avid photographer and sold some of her photographs, but kept most of them for reflection and appreciation of all the beauty that nature provides. Leanne also loved to travel. She loved to discover different cities, cultures, and sceneries. She visited many cities, but one of her favorite cities that she discovered in the last two years was Mexico City, where she fell in love with the architecture, food and culture. She went twice and was eager to go back with her parents. Another passion was being a great supporter and comforter to friends and family. If you were Leanne's friend, you knew what a true and genuine friend you had! She was a gem of a friend! Although our ray of sunshine is no longer here with us physically, her memory will live in our hearts and her spirit will continue to shine brightly. In her own words, " Always look for the silver lining "!
