We are all deeply saddened. Leah was one in a million. Her heart was so big. I felt terrible when I learned of her husband's death just a few years ago. You see, I have a college aged daughter who was diagnosed with epilepsy. We were all enriched at Duquesne by knowing Leah. Our sorority was the recieptent of one of the finest women I have ever known. She is in my heart and prayers. Love and respect in Epsilon Pi!

She was my aunt. Her brother was my father. And sadly I didn't get to see her much after she moved away 3 years ago. I'm glad people got a chance to know her. And I'm glad I got a chance to tlak to her just a day before she died. Hi, I don’t know you, but I do know Leah. She was my aunt. Her brother was my father.

Though her and I only spoke on our birthdays conversation was as if time had never passed. I went to the hospital and stayed overnight with her before she had gone into a coma. We laughed, cried and talked about things that happened in our past. You should here some of the stories. I realized from speaking with her that she has become such a part of so many peoples lives, it was breathtaking to me. She always opened her heart to anyone who needed a shoulder and I am so proud to say what a dear and loving friend and sister she has been to me. I will miss her so much. She dedicated a song to me one year "The wind beneath my wings" by Bett Midler from the Beaches movie. She said that I was the wind beneath her wings but she was so wrong. She was and always will be the wind beneath my wings... I Love you Sandy. I have been friends with Leah, I know her as Sandy, since I was four years old.

I haven't talked to her in a couple of years really, we used to communicate on a yahoo group for titans fen, and were in Ttalk together. I didn't know about her husband passing although I did see her at a con in Boston not long after her brother's. she made me a lovely drawing. she was unfailingly nice to me. my heart goes out to her children. wow. this is shocking.

We would talk for hours about comics, the APA, and our lives. I met my wife Lindy via Titantalk and when our first daughter was born, Leah sent us a drawing of the three of us. I still have that drawing along with others that she sent to the APA and me personally. Like others, I lost touch with her over the years but did speak to her in November 2006. She sounded like her old self and we picked up right where we left off. She never even hinted that she was sick. She was a wonderful woman and a gifted artist. She is already greatly missed. My heart goes out to her 2 boys as well. Like Charles, I first met Leah during my time in Titantalk. We would talk for hours about comics, the APA, and our lives.

I knew her husband died a few years ago and dropped her an email expressing my condolences at the time but other then that we lost touch. I had no idea she was so sick. I didn’t know Leah that well, we used to hang out at cons and work the Friends of Lulu booth together back in the day but then the demands of “real life” came along and I stopped going to cons or FOL meetings as often. I wish I had known her better, or been able to see her one final time before she passed, but it was not meant to be. Above my desk as I type this is framed drawing of Buffy the Vampire Slayer fighting Vampirella, with Buffy wearing an “I Luv Angel” button and the words “and of course Buffy wins” on the bottom. Leah drew this for me at a White Plains con we were hanging out in. I don’t remember how this drawing came about, whether it was something I suggested or just something Leah draw on her own and gave to me, but it has always been one of my most treasured possessions. My sincerest condolences to go out to her family and loved ones. Gotta say I’m shocked speechless to hear this, haven’t talked to Leah in years.

Leah's humor and force of life were astonishing, even as she grieved her husband. I met her through a support site for young widow/ers in 2003. I went off on a widow's diatribe about Marshmallow Peeps, and she most enthusiastically joined in devising bizzarre and awful things to do to the sweet and colorful things. She regularly provided updates on the whereabouts of the Peepmobile and apparently incorporated Peeps into one of her Faire outfits. I joined Leah one afternoon at the PA Rennaissance Faire where she was in full garb and totally in her element. We sprinkled M&Ms at the memorial garden her friends had planted there for her husband David. She totally answered my geek side, absent since my own husband's death. News of her passing shocks and saddens me, and I can only offer the deepest of condolences to her sons and her brother. "This journey is ended. Another begins. Time to rest now."
