Lesa, I will never forget the good times we had - one special memory that will never fade is the one of you and David singing "I got you babe" at his house - what a treat that was! My sincerest condolences are extended to your family, Nikki and Mike, I know you know you were the apples of your Mom's eyes. Keep her memories and love alive in your hearts always. Love to you all,

Lesa, I will miss your beautiful smile, reading your beautiful poetry and the inspiring stories that you wrote. You were so proud of your children, and you loved your family so very much, as you told me so often. Thanksgiving night you looked so pretty, my daughter said you looked like an angel, that you had a beautiful glow. This earth has lost a very special soul, and heaven has gained the most beautiful angel. Your neighbor and friend, Debbie Sykes Henderson, North Carolina

I am very sorry to hear about Lesa. I remember seeing her when you all would get off the school bus at your house on Old Hundred Rd. May Gods peace and love be with you and your family.

If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together...there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think, but the most important thing is, even if we're apart...I'll always be with you.

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart,
and you shall see that in truth you are weeping
for that which has been your delight.

Death hides -
But it cannot divide,
Thou art but on
Christ's other side.
Thou with Christ
And Christ with me
And so together
Still are we.
