Leslie,
I so enjoyed visiting you when I was in Decatur visiting my grandparents. You were a lot of fun, so beautiful, so graceful. I take comfort in knowing you're with our heavenly Father.

Love,

Paula

My Aunt Leslie was the best. I always had a great time whenever I was near her because she touched my heart. I love my Aunt Leslie and I always will.

Kirk, Rick and Johnny,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, especially on this anniversary. Our son Ross got to be good friends with Kirk in high school and he has always felt so welcomed in your home. Leslie was a big part of that. He so enjoyed talking to her and just hanging out in your home. He still does. When I can't find him your house is the first place I look.

I didn't know Leslie well but my best memory of her is one day when I was tracking down Ross and went by your...

What I'll always remember best about Leslie will be her laughter. She had such a warm smile and kind heart.

I miss Leslie very much. I can still hear her when she would call me and say "it's just me...call me" I miss our talks.

It's never easy saying goodbye but I would have told you how very much I loved you for being YOU - my Aunt Leslie Riley.

Johnny, Kirk & Rick we will always be here for you.

Losing Aunt Leslie felt like I lost my mom and truly she was my other mom. She always cared about my family and me so much. When Friday night rolled around I always asked “Mom, who’s house are we cooking out at tonight”. Most of the time it would be over at their house. I would walk in with my family and we would all line up for a hug from Aunt Leslie. Those were probably the best nights of my life because I got to be with everybody in my close family. Kirk and Rick would have over all of...

Every family function I can ever remember, My Aunt Leslie was there. She loved her family and we loved her. If we ever needed to talk, she was there to listen. My Aunt Leslie was a great woman, who cared deeply for others. I remember one time when she was teaching Madeleine how to stretch by touching her toes and pretending to make a pizza while doing it. Madeleine loved it and you could just see the love in Leslie's eyes. She taught us all many things. One of which was to stay close with...

My friend, I miss you every day!
