Dear Jerry and family, We are so very sorry for your loss of Barbara. Mom is sure going to miss her at AgeCare Midnapore. I will always remember fondly Mrs. Leavitt as my kindergarten teacher. We hold you all in our thoughts and prayers.
I was so sorry to hear about Mrs.Leavitt. She was like a second Mom to me in my younger years. Their door was always open and always there when I needed her. I can’t thank her and Mr. Leavitt enough. Bill, Stacy, Mrs. & Mr. Leavitt were a huge part of my childhood. She will be greatly missed and has a special place in my heart. Thank you Mrs. Leavitt for making me a part of who I am today. My sincere and deepest condolences.
Sending my sincere condolences to Jerry, Bill and Stacey. You're in my thoughts and prayers Love Connie Jasperson
Mrs. Leavitt was a wonderful person who will be missed by her “Eastern son”. I loved her very much and offer my sincere condolences.
I send my sincere condolences to you and to your family during this period of sorrow. The Bible gives a promise that your loved one will soon come back to life in a peaceful paradise on the earth where death will be no more. (John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:4)
My sincere condolences to Barbara's family. Barbara taught me at Jefferson School in Grade 7 & 8. She was by far the best teacher I ever had. Learning became easy, fun and enjoyable. My special memory of Miss Bateman was when we listened to a baseball game on the radio but in return did extra work at home. Also I enjoyed the math test that took up more than 3 blackboards; of course my favourite subject. Sincere condolenses to the family.
