As I was driving through Vienna, WV heading to Sam's Club; I noticed a vehicle pass me with a lot of writing. We passed each other several times until we came upon a red light. I seen your daughters photo and the word MURDERED. That word overcame me. I was very curious to find out what happened. After I arrived home I logged into your site. Beautiful!...I am very sorry for your loss. As a mother myself I just don't know what I would do if either one of my daughters were in a situation like that. I am very sorry, I lost my mother 2 years ago and I know what that done to me. People would tell me take one day at time the pain will go away. I wondered....do they really know how I feel. I take one breath at a time. That gets me through each day. Remember she will live on through her beautiful daughter and her family. The wonderful memories will last a life time. That is something that never can be taken away from you. Your wonderful parents, to see the love you hold for your daughter is amazing.

My heart goes out to you and yours. Time heals a hurt but not the fresh memory in your mind. Your baby did not die in vain.....you carry her memory and legacy on through your memories and her beautiful daughter.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have been beaten and battered myself and I was able to get away. I am greatful everyday for what I know have. I only wish Leanda had been so lucky. What you all are doing is amazing, it is not only remembering a loved one but it is making others aware and hopefully saving lives.

I was sitting at my desk at work and someone recognized you from pictures on your website. I was curious and looked at the website after looking out the window and seeing the website address on the back of your vehicle. What a terrible tragedy. I think it is good that you keep your daughters memory alive by telling her story. Not only does it keep her memory alive. I think it may help someone in the same situation to realize what can happen and that they need to get out of a relationship at the first signs of abuse. Good luck to you and your family. Thank you for sharing your story.

Driving to work I saw this website on the back of a big truck. I wondered what it was and who was Leanda? My heart goes out to you, but what you do to keep her alive is a wonderful example of how one life can and does change our world. I left the abuse and so wish your little girl had made it out. Just know that others will thank you for what you do here.

i drive by your house everyday taking my daughter to school. it is great that you guys will never let any body forget her. the guy that did this is a coward especially trying to blame his 13m old at the time. he shouldve got the death penalty or life in prison.he got a slap on the wrist.you guys keeping her memory alive will remind him and his family of what he did.good for you dont ever let them forget.this really hit home because my husbands aunt was murdered by domestic violence. your family will always be in my thoughts.

Hi, I met Leanda years ago when we were in job training together selling filter queen vacuums (neither one of us ended up doing it we just went through the training) I think this was when she first started living with Matt. Anyway, we clicked instantly like we had been best friends our whole lives. We exchanged phone numbers but everytime I would call Matt would say "she's asleep" and hang up. We would see eachother around town alot and say hi but he would look at her like she wasn't allowed to have a friend. The very last time I saw her was at the DMV. It was her, Matt and beautiful little Hailey. I wanted so badly to go over and talk to her but she we just kept looking at eachother and then finally she said hi and looked down. Then Matt started saying "who the hell is that?" It just felt so tense so I just let it go and gave up. She was a very beautiful and special person. I wish we would have gotten to know eachother better. We really hit it off and I'm sure our daughters could have been good friends too.

As I was driving downtown today I seen Leanda's truck. I remember hearing about your daughter's murder in 2004, but today when I seen your truck I never realized that you dedicated a website to her. As I sat reading your stories it hurt me to think about being in your shoes. I have 2 children of my own and I would not be able to go on if anything ever happened to them. I didn't know Leanda or any of her family, but my heart goes out to all of you, especially little Hailey. I think it is a great thing that you guys are doing to help other families in your same situation. Matthew definately did not get the sentencing he deserved.

I was working at the answering svc when I got that call for the funeral home. I cried thinking of this story. I kept up with the story and had so much anger cause he took someone so special away from her mom, dad and babygirl. The only thing I think of when I see leanda pix is that she is that angel that looks down through the gaps in the clouds to watch her daughter. I didnt know this family but because of this tragedy I have stood up for some women to help them when they thought no one was there. I have saved kids and mothers. thank you for being that angel on my shoulder leanda.

I was on the interstate yesterday and I saw your trucks. When I got home I looked up the website. I am so sorry for your loss.... This site is beautiful. It is a great tribute to your wonderful daughter. Her little angel will grow up knowing that her mother was deeply loved and missed. I hope this site gives other women who are living in an abusive relationship and afraid to leave. The courage and strength to get out when they can. I am sending this website to everyone I know. Thank you for sharing your story.
