Thinking of you! / Sharon Jenny's Mom (Angel Families ) There are no words to express what's on my heart. One year can seem like an eternity and yet seconds ago at the same time. May the special memories of Leland bring you comfort. He will always be remembered and always loved. May God continue to hold you as He has us these past 22 months and give you the grace you need second by second. God Bless......Sharon (Jennifer Kelly's Mom) Close

Three Years Today / Allison Anderson (Mother)
My Son Leland: Today it has been three years and it just seems like yesterday. I cry each and everyday even though you would tell me not to that you are in a better place. It will be 1 year (in 2 days) the 25th of April that I lost Mom or your grandma and I know that she is there with you and taking care of you. I will say it has been very hard son to lose you both. There has been many days that I didnt think I could go on but with the grace of God I am still here. My work on this earth must not be done. I read all of the memorials and feel the pain of loss. I met a freind today that must of been sent from above her name is Valerie Haslett , she helped today sponsor this website so that I and your sisters could continue our tribute. Please look over her son and make sure she has no needs and lots of comfort as she was here in our need, if only she knew what she really did for our family since your not here with us. I have to thank her from the bottom of my heart. Son I miss the laughter that you brought to us. The corney little dances and things you did. I miss not knowing who your wife would have been and your children, my grandchildren and we had another addition to the family, your sister had a red headed little girl just like you and named her Railey ( Ray Lee) after you. The other 4 (Shaylin, Takoda, Ash and Trace) all talk about you all the time and still miss and remember you. There isnt a day that goes by that I dont think of you and pray to God for comfort but it just never seems to get better or easier. I remember the day of the accident just like yesterday and feel somewhat responsible since I helped buy that truck, and the unanswered questions never go away. But I have left it in the hands of God and I know that someday I will be joining you again and until then Son please look over all of us here. I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH. Love Mom Close

Missing You So Much / Allison Anderson (Mother)
There isnt a day, a second a moment that goes by I don't think of my son Leland. I miss him so very much and it is approaching almost 3 years and it just seems like yesterday. A loss of a child is one of the worst pains to have to endure. I can't say it is any easier today than the day that it happened, the pain and the loss is always there. I want to thank everyone that has stood by my side and everyone that has inriched my son's life. I know that he would have been thankfull to have such good friends. I live each day with the would of, could of and why????? and the answer is God needed him in heaven because he always had so much laughter and joy for everyone. He was the comedian of every party and never made an enemy. His work was done on earth. He was my little man even though he was 6 foot 5 3/4. I wonder what his kids would have looked like, what his wife would have look like and where he would be today, the wondering, hurt and pain never goes away. I love you so much son and want the world to know how much you are missed.......Love Mom Close

POEM WRITTEN BY A MOTHER / Allison Anderson (Mother)
Please, don't ask meif I'm over it yet, I'll never be over it. Please, don't tell me he's in a better place, He isn't here with me. Please don't say at least he isn't suffering, I haven't come to terms with why he had to suffer at all. Please don't tell me you know how I feel, Unless you have lost a child. Please don't ask me if I feel better, Bereavement isn't a condition that clears up. Please don't tell me at least you had her for so many years, What year would you choose for your child to die? Please, don't tell me God never gives us more than we can bear. Please, just say you're sorry, Please just say you remember my child if you do. Please, just let me talk about my child, Please, mention my child's name. Please, just let me cry
OH GOD, WHY HIM / Allison Anderson (Mother)Read >>
OH GOD, WHY HIM / Allison Anderson (Mother)
I can only start by saying my son, Leland (my only son) I called him Lee Lee Ray, my little man,6"7, and his dad called him Rodney, but he was my life. He acted shy when you meet him but he was the life of the party the joker the comedian and really never meet a stranger, he made everyone laugh and now that he is gone, I have lost my laughter. There is not a second that goes by that I dont think of him and remember how much joy he really brought to me, if I could bring him back I would sacrafice anything, but for some unknown reason God needed him and I will never understand Why him? He was such a good person, never in any trouble and made so many people laugh and gave to everyone. I feel at times I cant go on without him and one year almost to the day I lost my wonderful Mother that was my support. I now understand she went to be with my son he needed her. Why her? My life has since been shattered and somedays I can only lift my head and ask Why God not me. I know someday when I get to heaven I will know the answers but now I can only wonder WHY. I thank God everyday for giving me 23 years with my son but I am selfish and want him back,. I thank my 2 daughters for this memorial site in his honor and know they have also grieved deeply and hope someday the will understand my pain but never have to go threw this kind of a loss. To anyone who read this site I can only say please tell your love ones you love them because they could be gone tommorow without any warning. May you rest in peace Son, Mama will be home and we will reunit someday soon. I love and miss you Son. "Just tell me WHY". Close

Great memorial! / Sue Sanneman (co-worker)
I know how the accident that took Leland from his family and friends affected them forever. My heart goes out to all of you, with his passing. I think it is beautiful that you posted this memorial to Leland.
