She was a gentle lady with strong opinions on most topics and would argue the Yin and Yang of those topics with any and all of us. She loved harder than she fought. She was in constant communication with everyone in her life. Family and friends could never doubt how much she loved them and she lived for that love that was returned.
Miss you so much mom!!!
Leverna will be dearly missed! We always enjoyed the time we got to spend with her and her husband Mike. We always felt like part of her family when they would stay at our lake when they would come visit Kansas. She is dearly missed!
You have our hearts!

There was only one Leverna! She had a personality that just didn’t stop. She could make you laugh when you thought you couldn’t! She always had her nails & hair done ! She even had a pink streak in her hair style. She wore her rings and had her tattoos. She was a Free Spiirit & loved life. She talked about her family often to me and loved them dearly. She was a very intelligent lady and a very good friend of mine. I sure do miss her phone calls & all the laughs we had together! RIP Leverna & Thank You for all the beautifull scarfs. Miss ya girlfriend. Hugs, Joan Marie Tosto-Gergely
