Not sure what to say?

I went to visit my dads remains in the Southminster church columbarium this past weekend and saw Leslie´s plot and was so sad. I was good friends with her sister Pam in high school as we were both part of the Southminster youth group. Pam admired Leslie so much and i have many fond memories of hanging out at their house and many interactions with the family. I was also so sad to hear about Pam´s early passing. Two bright lights extinguished way too soon.

I´m late doing this as i didn´t realize there was a guest book. I knew her as I became her little sister Pam´s best friend in high school. I kept in touch with Leslie and talked about Pam and their parents. For some reason they thought I was a good influence on Pam! I had dinner many times and Fred would actually talk to me about politics. I miss them all. Thank you Mark for telling me about Leslie.

Leslie was a dear friend. She will be truly missed. Her laugh, kindness and overall generosity to everyone will be memories I will treasure of this special lady. Lynn McNair

Leslie was a dear friend and trusted work partner for many years as we both expanded our public relations and marekting consultancies together. There was absolutely no one I trusted more to write beautiful prose than Leslie. When there was a healthcare article to write, she always connected with empathy to the patient, family, physicians and other providers, creating the most lovely possible article. She was also incredibly creative, and her work on Washington Hospital Center's campaign on...

So sorry to hear about Leslie's passing. She had contacted me before Christmas about looking after her condo and I had been talking to her by text or email each day I went over to water the plants or throw things out. After the New Year I got busier and didn't think to email her and see of she was out of her physical therapy rehab until lat February, and then did not hear back. So I looked for this. So sad. She was so lively and had such a gift of gab.

So sorry to hear Leslie passed. She had been communicating with me from her rehabilitation residence about taking care of her apartment, but I had not heard from her since around New Year's Eve. This weekend I thought something must have happened, and looked for this.

I was so sorry to hear of Leslie´s passing. Dorothy and I send our thoughts and prayers to Leslie's family and friends. Leslie's younger brother Mark and I were best friends during our junior and senior high years. I spent a lot of time at their house during that time so I got to know Leslie and Pam and their parents pretty well then. I remember Leslie as the beautiful, sophisticated older sister.

What a great loss to the Whitlinger family .Our condolences from the Bethel Park High School Class of 1967. Rest in Peace Leslie
