In Loving Memory of Tressa Leno

 

Tressa Leno, a radiant soul whose warmth touched countless lives, has left us, but her legacy of love and kindness will endure forever. Known for her unwavering willingness to help others, Tressa was a mother not only to her family but to all who crossed her path, earning her the cherished title of “Mom” from many. Tressa was the beloved wife of Ben Leno, whom she shared a bond of deep love and mutual support with. She was the proud mother of three children—Joshua Knutson, Kaisey Morris, and Nicholas Valdez—and the adoring grandmother to five grandchildren, whom she cherished with all her heart. 

Her home was a haven, her heart a sanctuary. Tressa’s open door and generous spirit welcomed everyone, transforming strangers into family with her warmth and compassion. She had a remarkable gift for making others feel seen and valued, offering comfort and guidance to those in need. Her selflessness and nurturing nature left an undeniable mark on those whom she shared her life with. 

Tressa is survived by her loving husband, Ben; her children, Josh, Kaisey, and Nicholas; her five treasured grandchildren; and a wide circle of friends and loved ones who will forever hold her in their hearts. Though she is deeply missed, her light continues to shine in the lives she touched. May she rest in eternal peace, enveloped in the love she so freely shared.

I am so sorry to hear this about Tess. My heart aches for you. This is part of life we have no control over. We have been commanded by our Savior to mourn with those that mourn and to comfort those in need of comfort. You have been not only a business associate, but also a dear friend over the many years. May God pour out the spirit and courage to carry on with out her. She is never very far away. Words will never express how you feel and what you are going thru. But always remember that you have friends and family who are thinking of you right now and who sincerly care about your well being. One of those is myself. Praying for you and all your family at this difficult time. All my love and friendship. Leon Clegg
