I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened the paper and saw Leslie's pictures in the obituary section. We graduated together and she was such a sweet, kind and gentle girl. My heart breaks for the children she leaves behind but am comforted by knowing she truly is at peace. I will continue to pray for her mother and family.

I am so very sorry to hear of Leslie's passing. She and I were in Mrs. Bigg's ballet class together, and we graduated together. I have fond memories of Leslie and all the fun we had in ballet.
