Dear Stewart,  
I’m so sorry to hear of Leta’s  passing. It’s far too soon.  I didn’t realize that both of you were still in the area until I saw this note from Rob Stubblefield. I have great memories of working with you and Leta.  My prayers are with you.   I can be reached at pamgomezgil@me.com, if you’d like to chat.    My sincerest sympathy, Pam.  

She always had the greatest smile. Her smile and warmth always lit up a room. I'm so sorry I couldn't make it, but our kempo family will miss her. 

Dearest Stew, 

Kristyn and I are truly sorry for the loss of your lovely wife, Leta.  She is truly one of the finest people we have ever met.  Her strong heart and open mind to those of us grieving after the loss of child, has been instrumental in our recovery.  Having lost a child (your son) herself, we could feel her genuine empathy every month at Compassionate Friends meetings.  Her heart for Christ and her love for others was real and impactful.  

The two of you together were an incredible team and we pray from the bottom of our hearts that this loss will not keep you from continued fellowship with us at CF in the future.  Our group needs you.  Philemon 1:4-7.

In Christ,  Gary and Kristyn Rafferty

Leta was such a warm, kind, sincere, and loving neighbor. Each time I saw her she brightened the day with her gift of hugs, smiles, friendly waves, and words of encouragement. I will forever have engraved in my memory her joy while she excitedly expressed the good news of the gospel.  

Thank you, Leta, for the gifts you gave to our son, Cormac, as he studied at Kempo Karate. You taught him about love, integrity, character, responsibility, manners, respect,  and so much more.  We will miss you and carry you in our hearts forever. -Jodi Papproth, Steve Emily, & Cormac Emily 

Mrs Levett, you gave the best hugs and warmth and love just radiated from you.  Thank you for loving my kids.  Thank you for your prayers and support and encouragement.  You were so determined and strong and such an individual.  You will be missed and we will take good care of Mr. Levett in your absence.  Molly Berndt

Mrs. Levett, you were always smiling and always happy to see anyone.  You made karate a fun place to be and were so good at picking out prizes!  We know you are so happy to be with Aaron right now.  Thank you for always being so welcoming and loving to everyone.  We will never forget you.  Love, the Berndt kids, Ellie, Andrew & Georgia 

May peace and comfort flood your soul, Stew.  Leta was an amazing, genuine woman who gave the greatest hugs.  She was passionate and intelligent and funny and this world is diminished now that she's passed.  It's my hope that the myriad of good memories you had together and the love you shared fills your heart until you're together again.

Stew. Leta was so loved!
I know how hard this is for you. Sending Prayers to you and your family! The one thing I will always Rember is her smile. I have never been around Leta when she was not smiling. God be with you and your family.

Love 
Theresa

You were my love, my soul, my companion. It was amazing how our bond took us through so many good times and so many bad, always together.
More importantly as a Woman of God you honored our wedding commitments and I’m truly grateful.
I’ll find a way to celebrate our 50th anniversary and we will do so together, from far or from near.
I will miss you every day and I will love you for eternity.
Your Mr. Levett

So sorry for the loss of Leta, beloved wife and faithful friend! We met through our Kempo family, but the relationship I hold most dear is the one we shared as sisters in Christ! We spent many hours sharing His love with each other and supporting each other’s loved ones in prayer together. Leta always had the back of everyone she loved! I will miss her dearly!!

I am so sorry I didn't get to see you again. You know I loved you as my sister and friend. I cherish the time we had together. You will live in my heart forever.

Leta was an amazing woman of God, who not only showed it through words but through her actions. Every time, she sees she would hug me like she was holding something precious. One of her hands on my head and the other on my back. I never forget this moment of seeing her come to my graduation brunch. I was excited as she poured out love, truth, and prayer for guidance in my new season of adulting. And to see her be there at the event, made me happy. I never forget how she come to see me as I was a volunteer receptionist at Radiant and she comes by talk about art and the goodness of God. Leta encourages me to persevere through the struggle. She saw something in me more than I saw myself.
