Leida's joy, kindness and loving nature touched our lives.
Her friendly and expressive personality made everyone always feel welcome at the family celebrations. Leida made sure everyone was having a good time, ate the delicious food and had big piece of cake.
Having met Leida, I believe she would like us to remember all the good times we shared with her. We'll love her forever.
May Leida rest in peace.

Oh my Leida,
I just saw a message from months ago on my messenger that you went to have beautiful peace with our King in Heaven.
I bet he was smiling when he saw you , I had not seen you in about 33 years, but when I saw you passed I cried so much and was so sad because I wanted to see you after all these years. We had so many happy times together that I will always cherish. Thank you for being my friend
Love you Leida ๐๐๐one day will meet you again
Youโre friend always Luana

I’m so sorry I wasn’t at your funeral but I just recently found out about your passing. Leida was a good friend of mine from work. We worked together for many years in Pembroke Pines and liked to talk about many things, especially our families. Leida you will be greatly missed. I wish I had a good photo of you so that I could remind all of your co-workers who you are.
