In respect of the passing of your sister, Mrs. Leora Daley, Dear Bonnie I am thinking of you during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the difficult days ahead with the indelible love and cherished memories you shared as sisters. And though memories may fade with time, you're sister Leora isn't a memory. She's a part of you and always will be.

Bonnie, I extend my deepest sympathy to you and all during this time of bereavement. The cares and concerns of Leora's earthy journey have come to pass. May she enjoy her just reward for a life well-lived.

My thoughts and prayers to the family at this difficult time. Leora was a wonderful aunt and a very nice person. Aunt Leora always had a smile on her face and loved spending time with family and friends. I will miss her.

Leora and I were classmates at Lewiston High School, and spent most of our lives a thousand miles apart, but we kept in touch with cards and photos.  I recently moved back to the Lewiston area and saw enough of her since then  to confirm the very good opinion I had always had of her.  She handled her life as a wife and mother of a large family with warmth and ease and a deep devotion to her family and had a lot of love left over for her friends and neighbors.  She always regarded her large family as a blessing from God, and I don't think I ever heard her utter a word of complaint about anything.  I wish I had had an opportunity to have shared more of life's experiences with her.  I was told she could no longer speak, but was still open to visitors and I was planning to go say goodbye when I got the call that she had passed.  My heart goes out to her family. You will miss her very much, but you were very lucky to have been brought up by her.  Keep your memories of her close in the years to come.  Katherine Degnan

We were parish members at Christ the King in Byron, MN and knew and worked with Lee and Jim on many projects.  I taught CCD and served with Lee on funeral lunch and Catholic ladies committee many years.  Also my husband Lee was a lector,  on building committee and an usher with Jim.  I remember some of the older children being in my CCD classes,  always well behaved and very talented.  Jim and Lee were great people, always giving and caring.  I'm sure the good Lord has a special place for both in heaven.  We currently live in Jordan, MN.  Our prayers are with family during this sad time.   Lee and Susie Birkholz

Your Mom was a beautiful lady inside and out!  We worked together at church at many activities during the years we lived in Byron.  Although we moved to Rochester 48 years ago, I loved to meet your Mom and be welcomed by that beautiful smile and hear all about you all!! Our sympathy and prayers are with you!

To The Daily Family,
 
So sorry to learn of Leora's passing.  What an outstanding woman, farmer, and mother.  Many times I recall her watching her kids participate in so many sports and the great parent-teacher conferences.  She was always kind, but would be direct when she needed to be.  I have such great respect for James and Leora and all the Daley kids.  You all provided me wonderful experiences in the classroom and on the field of play.  May God Bless her soul.  To the Daley kids, rest assured your parents did the right things, at the right time, were honest hard working people, and raised a great family.
 
Take care to all of you.
 
Peter Grant
