My condolences to Leslie's daughters, sister, nieces, nephew's & cousins. I've known Leslie since I was seven years old. Although I've moved away from Buffalo, I would talk to her every now and then. She remained good friends with my sister whom she named her first born after.

I have so many memories of Leslie, memories of days when kids could play outside all day and only had to be called by our mothers when it got dark (I can almost hear Mrs. Williams calling Leslie Ann now). We went through childhood, plaid pants, to parachute pants to jheri curls. I saw her first daughter as an infant and left town shortly afterwards. Although I didn't see Leslie much after that, all it would take was a phone call to know that the bond that was formed so long ago was still there. I will truly miss Leslie.

That’s the hard part of this what I call “ Joyful Morning”, when you morn you are doing so because that physical being you are use to seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, is no more; but the joyful part of this is, that the spiritual part of this being has gone on to a better place were there is no more physical pain and suffering . The joy is in having the opportunity to have meet and been apart of this beings life . I’m a true believer, that GOD allows you to meet people no matter how short the visit, it’s for a reason. The most important thing to understand is that we all are visitors on this earth.During this time of “Joyful Moring” know it’s ok to cry and laugh, sing and sream, dance and stomp, look at what could have been but don’t look without knowing what was.
Leslie was family to me,no matter how others treated me,when ever Leslie saw me she always had a smile and a hug for me, she will truely be miss by all.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
