Please accept my condolences on your loss. It was with sadness that I learned of Leslie's passing last weekend. Even though she had not been part of my life in many years, we went through much together as parents in establishing a family.
I have fond memories of our life and times together in the past. I am happy to know that she had a wonderful life, pleasing and rewarding, with you.

Many happy memories were shared with Leslie......especially when we were taking weekend classes at New Paltz. We laughed and laughed.........I remember her happiness meeting George and the sadness over losing her parents............and the pride she had in the successes of her daughter. I hadn't seen Leslie in recent years but have never forgotten her and never will. My sympathies to her family, colleagues and students.
