Leslie, I am so sorry to hear about your dad. He is gone too soon. May you be comforted by his memories. He was such a nice guy and seemed like such a great dad. Your former Preschool/Daycare teacher.

Leslie, I am so sorry about your loss. I've seen what a wonderful daughter you are, you stayed by your dad's side, through good times and tough and now through death. I am sure he was grateful for your presence. Your sweet spirit and your mother's diligence is the only reason why he stayed as long as he did. May the Lord bless you fully. Trust in HIM and all will be well. My prayers to you. Lovingly, Patty Christofano

Leslie, I met your dad only once, when I picked you up for prom. What I remember is how proud of you he was, and how much it meant to him to send you off to prom in the Excaliber. My condolences to you and your family.
