Condolences
I would like to add my condolences to those of sister Roxy. I am sure all our cousins of Leone have similar memories. When we needed information regarding family heritage Leone was the go to source and she always astounded us with her knowledge and ability to recall names, dates and events. This treasured resource is now lost but not forgotten.
— Terry Hamilton, November 7, 2025Sorry for your loss, Leone was my first cousin, and I have many happy memories of visiting Uncle Percy and Aunt Melissa in my youth. My family always visited Leone when they were in her neighbourhood and she was a fountain of information about our heritage. She will be missed by us all.
