Today would have been Leora's 74th birthday.
When Chris and I were married my sweet friend Corrie put together a very special book for us fill with quotes, photos and special messages from the people I love.
This is what Leora wrote to us way back when and it still makes me teary because it's so beautiful. I'm thankful that I have this happy photo and a note in her beautiful handwriting nearly 25 years later.
In messaging my cousins to let them know about posting Leora's Coconut Pie I found out that while I had missed out on it all these years coconut pie a family favorite that everyone loves. Some of her grandkids even bake themselves now and some of us had it for Easter.

| If Diane had been home with these three they might have had pie. |

| Michelle's beauties! |
 |
| David's family and that yummy pie! |

| Well no pie for Matt but I love this old shot of Leora, Cindy and Matt. |

Leora would be so proud of her kids, their spouses and grandkids. Everyone one of them is bright and gorgeous - inside and out - and taking on the world in their own way.
Happy birthday to my dear aunt!
