People lined the halls to pay their respects to our little hero and then we said the hardest goodbye of our lives. I’m not very good with words right now, because my heart hurts and I’m angry.”
Leach, who shares a stepdaughter and three other sons with her husband, Jeff, said that while her son’s organs will save three or four others, “right now there is a big hole in my heart and my arms feel empty.”

Put yourself in our shoes (which is impossible to do) and ask yourself if you’d want to read what you’re about to write or say.”
