John: We just heard about Leslie's passing and were saddened at the loss of such a fine lady. I will always remember her love of flower gardening and seeing her working with her treasured flowers in the front yard dressed in white! She always brought a smile to my face as she always had a smile on hers, especially when she spoke of her darling daughters. As I pass your former house where your daughter now resides, I think of her among her beautiful flowers relishing God's treasures. Our sincerest sympathies, Mary and Don Miller, Louisville, KY
