I'm sorry to have to share some sad news about one of our members here...

Leed has been a long-time member with us, since October 2010 and with over 6,500 posts during that time. Most people will remember her as a supportive member, not only to those who reached out to her, but on the forum to members she didn't even know.

She also volunteered and helped out as a community liaison here, responding to new members and welcoming them to our community.

One of her friends let me know the unfortunate news, "As many users are aware, she suddenly became ill. She was diagnosed with cancer in her lungs, which they then discovered had moved into her spine too."

Leed passed away in the evening on Saturday, July 27, 2013.

She will be sorely and sadly missed.

Peace,
DocJohn

I will miss you dearly my friend

I'd sing to you just one more time.
A song for a heart so big,
God wouldn't let it live.
May angels lead you in.
Hear you me my friends..."

Having been more of a lurker than a poster here at PC, I have read many of Leed's responses to people in distress and just seeking information. Her replies always seemed well-thought out and full of true compassion and she was a huge contributor to this board who will be truly missed in many ways. I have only been around here since June, yet this news brings tears. You can be at peace and not hurt anymore, Leed. God bless you.

(((Lee)))

It is very sad to hear this news. One of the sweetest, so gentle and compassionate. Always offering support in her special way. She was strong and courageous, you could always tell she truly wanted the best for others and did her best to help to encourage them. She will be missed by so many. Lee was a true light to many here.

Lee, god bless. I know that you will be in peace.
