LEAGH BROMLEY BLACKWELL

Condolences & Memories (12 entries)

• I have thought about your mother's wishes to make a donation to the Winnipeg Humane Society. Leagh, you know that I often didn't do what you told me to do. But in this case I think I am right (for a change). I donated three books to the Marymound School Library. I volunteer at the library and I know you would be in support of this donation. I am donating in Leagh's name: City of Bones, City of Ashes and City of Glass. Leagh's name appears in each book. - Posted by: Colleen Dalton (Friend and Co-worker) on: Apr 20, 2013

• It was with great honor, pride and sadness that Brenda E., Ester, Holly, and myself stood at Leagh's bedside holding hands with her as she left us to on her well deserved Journey. We had been laughing and talking about union memories, when in the midst of it she went. Although she as in process of dying, we all felt she could hear us. Leagh was more than a good friend, she was my sister in all ways. I remember our discussions, the loud talks [at times], the uproarious laughter we'd share. Leagh could find the humor in many things, she loved to talk about her life with her mother and father, her grandchildren and of course her great-grandchild. I will miss Leagh very much, I loved her as if she were my sister and I will miss our outings to the casino and I will especially miss having her over for suppers and just being with her. My thoughts, my prayers and my love go with you and I look forward to seeing you again wherever we end up!!! - Posted by: Allyn J. Taylor (friend) on: Apr 10, 2013

• Leagh will be missed and always remembered. The Labour movement has lost a true friend and advocate for improving the fortunes of workers. I will never forget the day she blew into Thompson in her brand new black camaro. She was starting work on Monday and the CEIC was never to be the same. She fought for the "little guy" and took on all bullies. She left as quickly as she arrived. Family, that she loved so much and talked about constantly, needed her and she was gone, never to be forgotten by anyone who worked with her. God Bless You, Blair - Posted by: blair hudson (friend) on: Apr 08, 2013

• I worked with Leagh & she was amazing, strong & not afraid of what life threw at her. She has left a huge imprint in my life & taught me how to be strong & not afraid of life. We recently shared some great memories together this past January and I'm glad I got to see her one last time. You're an ANGEL now Leagh and I'll look for that bright star at night & think of you. My thoughts & prayers are with your family as you'll be greatly missed. - Posted by: Marilyn Loutit (Colleague & Friend) on: Apr 08, 2013

• I worked with Leagh in Selkirk, when she was known as Sharon, or "Big Red". What a gal!! What a huge personality!! What a gift to have known her, to have worked with her, to be inspired by her, and to have socialized with her. The last time our paths crossed, about 10 years ago, she was still the same outspoken, big-hearted and fun loving person she always was. She loved her family, and your loss must be deeply felt. My sympathies to you. - Posted by: Audrey Robertson (Former coworker) on: Apr 08, 2013

• My deepest Sympathy to Leagh's family. Your mother was a wonderful person and stood up for what she believed was right She was a caring and generous person. She had a special place in her heart for certain people and she surely showed it. She was a great worker to work with and always had a smile for you. She went out of her way for people on many occasions. She didn't have to do that but it wouldn't be Leagh if she didn't. She talked about her daughters with great pride and her grandchildren too who she adored. Leagh was a special person as I saw her. To me she was a good listener and a friend that was so generous to me. Thank you Leagh for all of it. Leagh liked a good time with friends and co-workers. So to Leagh my friend and buddy may you rest in peace now. I shall always remember you for the person you were and how you always knew you were right and you always were. How you worked so hard for yourself and your family. You were just a delightful GEM. I will miss you but I will always remember you. Keep Smiling Leagh. RIP now. You are an Angel now. - Posted by: Diane (Co-Worker and Friend) on: Apr 07, 2013
