To the Leslie Family: I think back at, what seems a short time ago, when Dick Hadden and I would drive to the house and Home Teach Don & Shirley. I remember Lisa playing in the Athens High School band and Tim played Basketball as I was a referee. Times have changed, and so have we. The thing that keeps us together is our faith in knowing that we will all meet again. May this family be blessed with comfort during these times.
