My sympathy goes out to you all. I only knew Leslie for a short time, but she was very special indeed. She was always thinking of others instead of herself. How blessed you were to have had her in your life. I pray God's peace and comfort will surround you in the days ahead.

Our sympathy and condolences go out to the George and Parson families. Although we didn't know Leslie, we knew of her through her nephew Logan. Our prayers are with all of you.

It was my pleasure to be a part of Leslie's life. As Rylan's Preschool Teacher, I could see how very much she wanted the best for her son. I remember her telling me that he was an answer to her prayers. I am praying for God's peace to comfort and sustain each of you.

To my brother and all the family, I miss her already. Leslie was a very special person. She was someone who could light up everyones heart just by walking in the room. I know the feelings of pain and anguish at the loss of this very special person. I know she is in Heaven taking care of Michael and mom, and everyone else. She will be sadly missed. I love you all and will keep you in my prayers. Your brother

I wish the best for all of Leslie's family. She was a generous and caring person who created a lot of great memories and touched many lives in a positve way.

Her passing reminds me that life is uncertain and the time we have should be enjoyed and well spent.

August 12, 2010

Jody & Rylan, our hearts are saddened for the loss of such a sweet wife and mother and friend to many. Leslie's heart was full of love, hope and kindness. She cared for all she met and what a wonderful quality for one to have. She baked cookies for Randy and helped the guys here at the store with the phones numerous times. She made everyone feel they were important, because they are and they were to her. Her success for sharing love and joy here on earth has earned her many rewards with the Father. God Bless you all...Keystone Country Store

Our family is truly blessed to have had Leslie with us.Its very hard to accept the fact that she is no longer with us. I will never forget the day my brother Jody introduced that beautiful redhead to me.I knew right away she was special.She had a special gift of making anyone she came in contact with love her.For as much as she has been through all these years she was always strongwilled and faithful. Even on a bad day if she was asked how she was doing she would say "I'm good". She was and still will be a great inspiration to a lot of people. All she wanted was a simple life with Jody and Rylan she told my wife and I one night we were visiting her in the Chambersburg hospital. We will miss her very much and are very thankful to have been blessed with her in our lives. She is now in heaven away from all the pain and suffering that she has endured for so long.She is most likely up there now helping someone through some type of situation with a big beautiful smile on her face.We love you and will miss you Leslie.

My thoughts & prayers go out the George family.
Leslie was a very beautiful young lady with a HUGE heart. Everyone who had a chance to meet Leslie fell in love with the kind person she was. I don't believe that I've ever seen her without a smile on her face, even if she wasn't having a very good day!
Leslie will be missed by many.

God Bless the entire family and those who had a chance to meet this brave lady, for she is in a much better place now, smiling down on us all! :)
R.I.P. ~Leslie

I had the pleasure of getting to know Leslie when she was on my unit at the hospital. I enjoyed getting to know her but wish it was under other circumstances. She was always sweet to me to matter how she was feeling. I am so sorry for your loss. Amanda Myers, 3 West, Chambersburg Hospital

I last saw Leslie about 4 years ago right before Christmas. I ran into her at the mall. She and I had a nice conversation that day and she seemed to be doing very well that day and in good spirits. We talked about all the good times we had as teenagers hanging out. Never can predict what the future holds for us. I was very sad to hear this news today! Leslie was a very special person. She will be greatly missed. I send my sympathy to all her family. God Bless. Shawn Daywalt
