My heart is sad and unbelieving at the news of Leslie's death. She and Dean have been part of my history. My gratitude is for the renewed closeness we shared in recent times.

Leslie provided me with prompt, effective computer support on numerous occasions. Even more memorable was her eagerness to help a computer klutz. I always left her office with the correct fix, additional knowledge to be used in the future, and a pleasant feeling of having been helped by a gracious friend.

I am so sorry to hear of Leslie's passing. I worked with her several years and she was one of the kindest people I have ever known. I will always remember her fondly.

COME WITH ME TO MEET MY FRIEND
LET'S TALK WITH JESUS


He keeps me company day and night
Quietly whispers my wrong to right
'Oft times I wonder how it would be If while I talk with Him
His precious face I could see



No one could listen the way He will
His heart full of love forever still
I know you will love Him as much as I
His arms open wide to invite you inside





He will lead the way a path so clear
Let's talk to Jesus each word He will hear
First a small prayer we pray to my friend
Thank Him for Blessings that never end





Then let's pray for our loved ones
That they keep Him in their heart
And from his word never part





Let's tell Jesus about our trials or pain
Ask Him to heal us in His name
Now we must ask Him to forgive
Our many sins each day we live





That we live a life pure and clean
Our reward in others will be seen
For we have talked to Jesus today
Let's never stop now or go astray



We feel the comfort of His Eternal Love
Gentle peace in our hearts from above
