Aunt Leota was a very special Aunt. I did her hair for several years. I would love to here her stories. I have several different things she made for me. She was very talented and love to sing with my mom. So our son, Steve is singing her favorite song. Sentimental Journey. I loved her a lot and she will always be in my heart. Rest in Peace, Aunt Leota.
