Leo add Tisha were on their way to purchase a tractor. He was my brother's step son. He and Tisha were going to close on their 40 acre dream farm the next morning. They were paying cash for it, having both saved for and dreamed of this day. They were so full of energy and plans.Leo told me he had looked for 47 years for this incredibly special woman He proposed to her on stage in to Portland Opera House in front of all the patrons. She even said yes!!! What a guy. Tisha was a very capable business woman, well suited to take on the challenges of a self sufficient moo cow and oink pig farm. They were a perfect storybook couple. We are happy and proud to have them both continually in our minds and hearts, a part of our souls. Leo &Tisha, RIP xo

I am a life long friend of Tisha , we were friends from second grade on through school years and this is such a tragic loss of one person with her heart overwhelmed by love that came later in life . The joy she shared in finding her special connection to this man gave us boths tears as she shared how he touched her heart like nothing before. She had success in business ,finances ,and loved her dogs as they were her kids . Her complete fofillment came the day Leo entered her life and I have only one comfort in her early departure ,and that is that she left this earth being happier than she ever had been before. I am praying for peace to there family and loved ones but sad to know that this was done with intent to harm two people that didnt see it coming . I wont ever see my friend again but I will keep all the years of friendship close to my heart and charish the memories of her smile. good bye Tisha and thankyou Leo for giving her the best she had in life !
