My thoughts are with all of Leda's family as you move through this difficult period of mourning....I was so shocked to hear the news of Leda's death - I didnt see her often but remember vividly the times I visited her in her little house full of special things, and the conversations we had. Her ceramics are full of her love for the world around her and will be a beautiful legacy. I will always remember her lovely impish gentle spirit , her kindness and her joy in life. May her spirit fly free now.

Heartfelt sympathy to Jessica, Thérése, Óísin, Gita, Raven, Shauna and all the May and extended families on the passing of Leda. May her gentle sole rest in peace.

Leda was one of the first artists to exhibit in Skibbereen in Abbeystrewry Hall back in the late 1970s out of which grew The West Arts Centre and now Uileann. She was a very talented trailblazer who along with her contemporaries led the Art scene that has become such an integral part of life here.Rest in Peace now Leda .

I thought of Leda as always being even natured especially when the going got tough on the travels we took together to India with Peter and David to India.
She was a superb traveller

Her kindness is what I will remember
