To the Bradford family, I am stunned to know that Leslee has gone to be with Lord. She was one of the first persons I met at San Jose State and was also my roommate. Although we lost contact over the years she was someone that left her mark on my life. She is definitely someone I will never forget. My sincerest condolences to the family.

John, Alex and Brendan,
Leslee and I became friends at Neoforma about 7 years ago, and we had a very special Bible group going there. Her dedication to and love of God, as well as her family, was evident in so many ways.
She was so proud of all three of you, and when life seemed to get tough at times, she always responded that God was in control and that things would work out. Her faithfulness never waivered, and that's what got her through life. I know she was a rock of foundation for you.
Your family is in my prayers -- stay strong, and keep the faith.
We miss you, Leslee.

Leslee,

I remember when you and your sisters would come stay in my home for summer. I will never forget the fun you had with Bobo, Leilanie and Pete. When you left to go back home after summer ended, I missed you dearly. And now I will miss you more than ever. Say "hello" to my son in heaven.

God Bless You,

My heart goes out to the entire Manigo family. I had the pleasure of teaching Alex in the first grade and of being a fellow church member of the Manigos. Leslee was always so up beat and positive and loved her family. May your many happy memories of her comfort you during this difficult time. God bless you and keep you.

I remember the summers she spent at our home and how much fun she was to be around. We had a ball going to the park.

She never had anything bad to say about anyone. She was not a hater but a person who loved everybody.

I will pray that everyone will be strong in these tough times. My parents send their love as well.

Les...You enjoy your new permanent home in that beautiful sky.

God Bless,

Andrea

I am so sorry for the loss of Leslee. She was such a mighty woman of God. I met her when she'd go to the Women's Fellowships at Star of David. She always had a smile on her face. In fact the last time I seen her smile was at Outback with her husband and 2 sons. It wasn't that long ago. Now they have an angel to look over them. I pray for the peace that surpasses all understanding during this time of loss. God Bless You!

She was so proud of you two boys and your accomplishments, and I never visited with her when she didn't quote you, John. She loved all three of you so very much. You and her faith in God were her life. God Bless you as you remember what a special person she was to you and to all of us. We miss her and know that today she is with the angels and Jesus.
