I was so sorry and shocked to hear about Les passing away. She will be missed greatly by many people. I'll always remember my trips to visit Les and Bruce when they were married and see Andrea and Josh when they were just little ones. I really got to know Les and will always consider her family even though she's my 'ex sister in law'. I pray for Jeff , Andrea, Josh, and Kristin and your children and all other relatives that God will give you peace and strength as you remember her forever.

Dearest Ande, Josh, Kristin, Lisa, Jimmy, Jeff, and Bruce,
Mark and I were sad to hear about your loss.
While we lived in Florida, we had pleasure to enjoy Bruce and Lesley's children growing up.
Lesley and I had many fond memories of going on our "girls" only Florida Keys vacations each year... and just simply enjoying Florida together. We shared a love for our children, families, and our pets.
Les will indeed be missed by so many of us who knew her and loved her.
With heavy hearts ...your friends,
Mark and Beckie

Lesley was so kind - I witnessed her deep love for animals when I had to put both her dog and cat to sleep at the same time - we spoke about this just recently at my children´s book signing. The books were to be for her grandchildren.

I am saddened to hear of this news. Lesley was a great joy to have in my fitness class. She always made sure to say hello & good bye. She loved telling me about playing with her grandchildren, what an awesome grandma to have. We talked about a lot of things! I will miss seeing her focused look as she worked out and his her best
