Almost from the moment we moved next door to our Ms. Leni back in 1993 when she came to the fence to greet our puppy Angel on our move in day she touched our hearts and over the years became so much more than a very good friend and neighbor, she became our English Mum. We will always cherish the great times we shared, whether celebrating events, sitting to have chats out on the deck or across the fence. You are forever in our hearts. All Our Love, John & Dee

Leni was an extraordinary human being. Back in high school, she was known as Mrs. Barugh. In later years, I was lucky to call her my friend. Leni's kindness and sweet spirit was a blessing to everyone she knew. Even now I have to believe she's looking down and sending all of us comfort and love. Graham, Michael and Michelle, may the beautiful memories you have of your Mom sustain you during this painful time. My deepest, most loving, heartfelt condolences to you.

Leni was the sweetest, most caring person I think I've ever known. Only knew her for a few years, but we became close. We planted flowers together in her yard and I enjoyed a lot of visits, phone calls, lunches and hugs. I will so miss her. My thoughts and prayers to her family, we now have an angel watching over us.

Mom, your light will forever shine as a beacon of love, hope and inspiration.
Graham Barugh left a message on February 5, 2021:
In loving memory of the infinite and everlasting power of a mother's love. I can look out in my garden and see flowers grown from seeds you gave me, as I can look in my heart and see the love and life that you nurtured and allowed to flourish. Your deeds on this earth are present everywhere, and the love that you taught is omnipotent. Thank you for being a dedicated, selfless, honorable, loving, kind, and protective mother, wife, sister, and friend. God's speed Mom, until we meet again, I love you now and always.

Leni was a long-time friend of my Aunt Jane's and I enjoyed talking to her. I liked to ask her what British expressions meant and we always had a laugh about that. I remember asking her about "bangers and mash" and she chuckled - she had the cutest laugh. My condolences to the family.
